Ross S. Bagdasarian [a] (/ b æ ɡ d ə ˈ s ɛər i ə n /; January 27, 1919 – January 16, 1972), known professionally by his stage name David "Dave" Seville, [3] was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor best known for creating the cartoon band Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Bagdasarian Productions sued Capitol Records for using Alvin and the Chipmunks' music without the permission of the production company. The licensing agreement, which gave the record company the right to manufacture and distribute songs, was signed in 1968 (about four years before Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.'s death) and was not seen again until 2007.
Bagdasarian was born in Fresno, California in 1949, [4] the son of Armenian-American parents Armenuhi Bagdasarian (née Kulhanjian) and Ross Bagdasarian (1919–1972). As a child, he worked with his father on The Alvin Show by helping edit and coordinate the soundtracks and falsetto voice-overs of the Chipmunks.
After Bagdasarian's death in 1972, the Chipmunks' careers stalled until NBC showed interest in the original show (the network carried Saturday morning reruns of The Alvin Show as a midseason replacement in 1973) and the following year, Excelsior Records released a new album of contemporary songs performed by the Chipmunks.
