Editing Terry Knight (section)

== Producer and solo career ==
In 1967 Knight moved to New York City, and attempted a solo career as a singer and staff producer with the [[Cameo-Parkway Records|Cameo-Parkway]] label, with limited success.<ref name="LarkinGE"/> He produced and wrote a handful of tracks by other artists, including garage band [[Question Mark & the Mysterians]], and the easy-listening International Pop Orchestra. He also scored music for the [[20th Century Fox]] noir film, ''[[The Incident (1967 film)|The Incident]]'' (1967).

Knight traveled to [[London]] in 1968, hoping to become a recording artist or producer for [[the Beatles]]' newly formed [[Apple Records]]. Knight met [[Paul McCartney]] and was present at some of the recording sessions for the band's 1968 double album ''[[The Beatles (album)|The Beatles]]'' (also known as the "White Album"), including the session when [[Ringo Starr]] temporarily quit the group. Knight was surprised to find the band members arguing with each other. He soon left London after he was unable to negotiate a contract with acceptable terms.<ref>"Terry Knight Refuses Apple but Still Comes out on Top", Detroit Free Press (May 2, 1969), p. 5C.</ref>
