"known overseas"
editSeveral entries in the discography state "known overseas as..." - what does that mean? Overseas from where? Does the writer expect readers to assume it is the USA? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.5.217.206 (talk) 16:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
"co-produced We Are the World"
editOmartian did not co-produce this song, despite claims from other sources. The credits on this record do not name him as producer or co-producer. Rather he was an arranger and keyboardist. His website even says "arranger, keys".
Michael Omartian discography
editSupport split - Discography section is long and should be split to a new article entitled Michael Omartian discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:23, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose It's mostly unreferenced and many of the works are not important or even notable. Fix that first and see if it's still long. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:45, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Exaggerated claim
edit"Omartian is the first producer to have number-one records in three separate decades: the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s."
Codswallop. Off the top of my head: George Martin produced The Beatles in the 1960s, America in the 1970s, and Paul McCartney in the 1980s. And all had #1 hits with Martin as producer.
Meanwhile, Omartian had #1 hits with Rhythm Heritage in the 1970s and Christopher Cross in the 1980s. And, as far as #1 records go -- that's it.
So not only wasn't he the first to do it ... he actually didn't ever achieve the three-decade feat at all. 70.53.45.125 (talk) 03:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Done. Thanks for the note. Binksternet (talk) 04:05, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
