Huh. For a "that guy" I don't think I've seen anything he was in. I guess he played a bartender in "The Producers" and "man on street" in "Seconds?" Dunno if I would recognize him from those. Morbs, what do you know him from?

Campanella seems less for the Romanian cinema set and more for the "Mannix" set.

Reggie Lucas:
⚫️ #RIP Reggie Lucas, Legendary Guitarist who played for Miles Davis, produced the majority of the first Madonna album and founded the Quantum Sound recording studio where Jodeci, Jeff Buckley and Pet Shop Boys recorded 🙏 https://t.co/mwX9Z89Ab9— Vinnie Crocker (@Vinnie_Crocker_) May 19, 2018
...and wrote "Borderline" for Madonna too.

Reggie Lucas, producer of most of Madonna's first album, but more importantly (to me anyhow) the rhythm guitarist in Miles Davis's band from 1972-75. He's on Agharta, Pangaea, Dark Magus, Live at Philharmonic Hall, Get Up With It and some posthumous live compilations and the Complete On The Corner Sessions box.
― grawlix (unperson), Saturday, 19 May 2018 15:30 (five years ago) link
Knew him from Pangaea-era Miles, didn't realize he did all that other stuff too. RIP
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 19 May 2018 15:30 (five years ago) link
Wow. So slot him in with Narada Michael Walden and Quincy Jones as legit jazz dudes who turned out to be super adept at '80s pop.

"Borderline" (and "Lucky Star") are Madonna's zenith for me. RIP Reggie.

Just as an aside, three of Joseph Campenella sons have/had bands in the LA scene for years. Rob C. has been in the Brian Jonestown Massacre for over a decade and also plays in the Quarter After with his brother Dominick. Andy C had a band called Captain Planet (I think that was their name?) and has played drums in a couple others. Anyway, Joseph Campenella would occasionally be at one of the big parties at Rob's house - he loved listening to the music and he was amazing to talk to - total gentleman. In addition to The Invaders, Mannix, Ironside, One Day At A Time, and Dallas, he also has a credit for whistling on a BJM record.
