Fox called ‘Family Ties’ boosted his career, his days with Capitol Records, getting discovered as a voiceover talent via his pro bono work at KCRW, winning a Grammy, snagging a star on the Walk of Fame, and much more, including his Big Band, his book Vintage Neon, his upcoming autobiography, and his still-in-production documentary starring heavyweights such as Dolly Parton and Dionne Warwick.
