Pulver died in a Santa Monica hospital after losing his battle with lung cancer, widower, renowned film composer, actor and iconic guitarist Don Peake told THR.
Pulver’s 1973 album Pulver Rising, released on MGM Records, included the hit single Dancing on the Moon. He then actively performed the hit on television and, the following year, as the opening act for the Mott the Hoople tour.
Pulver and Peake met when the composer came to THR to ask about some promotional details for the Wes Craven horror film The Men Under the Stairs, for which he wrote the music. The older artists liked each other and got married in 2017.
