    Harold Eugene Clark (November 17, 1944 [1] – May 24, 1991) was an American singer-songwriter and founding member of the folk rock band the Byrds. [2] .

    • “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” Mr. Tambourine Man, 1965. The Byrds' epochal debut featured four chiming Bob Dylan covers that defined the folk-rock sound, as well as five originals penned by Clark, including this one about the ambivalence of a breakup.
    • “The World Turns All Around Her” Turn! , 1965. While the title track/hit single "Turn! Turn!" found the Byrds interpolating Pete Seeger and the Book of Ecclesiastes, Clark's "The World Turns All Around Her," from that same album, pivoted on the same verb, using it to convey the tumultuous emotions brought on by being on the wrong side of a breakup.
    • “Eight Miles High” Fifth Dimension, 1966. The last Byrds song Clark had a hand in writing, and also the band's last Top 20 hit, this Clark/Crosby/McGuinn co-write was the group's most ambitious single, with the latter's Rickenbacker 12-string guitar tuned to a higher plane of Ravi Shankar-inspired raga drones and Coltrane-esque modal fire.
    • “Echoes” Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers, 1967. With help from what might scan as the incoherent assemblage of bluegrass musician Doug Dillard (a future collaborator), country singing duo the Gosdin Brothers, ex-Byrd bandmates and members of the famed Wrecking Crew studio outfit, Gene Clark's debut album somehow managed to finesse a sound that veered from baroque pop to garage rock, country to psychedelia.
