Ted Nichols

Theodore "Ted" Nichols (born October 2, 1928) is a composer conductor, arranger, educator, minister of music. While Nichols served at the Church of The Open Door, he became acquainted with the Los Angeles artistic community and the large musical productions at the church encouraged a member of his choir, an animator at Hanna-Barbera Productions to introduce Nichols to Bill Hanna. That led to a contract as musical director from 1963 to 1972 for Hanna-Barbera.
