Livingston died Friday of age-related causes in his Beverly Hills home, said his stepdaughter, Jennifer Lerner.
Livingston began his multifaceted career in show business as a writer and producer of children's read-along record albums for Capitol Records. He came up with the Bozo the Clown character for the 1946 album "Bozo at the Circus," which became a hit and spawned a cottage industry of merchandise and the television series featuring the wing-haired clown.

As I was a kid I remember many an early morning show with that nutty red-haired clown.
Also have to thank and honor the man for bringing us the Beatles to America and exposing us to one of the greatest bands of all time.

RIP Alan :asian:
