Van Dyke//Parks is his name.

I knew him, and worked with Van Dyke when I worked with Brother Records.

I offer no proof other than my knowledge of him and this letter from Van Dyke to Brian Gari from the vandykeparks.com website:
Quote:

Dear Brian,
Your album?
Beyond "Wonderful"!
I was astonished to receive and hear your take on "Wonderful"---on my birthday no less.
I was totally refreshed to hear this, the first cover of the tune I've heard since Brian Wilson and I authored it nearing forty years ago. There just isn't one false move in your work, which is a decidedly deceptive piece, with one anecdote after another neatly evaporating, on a plane with Mr. Wilson's bright intentions.
I took the whole tour through your tribute to Wilson, both for your preservationist skill, and the creative perspective you've added. It's inescapably romantic, physical, up-front and personal.....you've given us a totally honest shake. I know your CD will be a bonus for any real Wilson afficianado's library.
You've brought some real timeless music clearly into the present tense in this project. And, your talent has provided the margin of incite that other Brian deserves. It's about time.
I'll treasure "Brian Sings Wilson" for all time. Hats off to you and Jeff Olmsted on the production. You guys put the "B" back in "Subtle". What can I say? .....You're a Hero!
Your pal,
Van Dyke


But that's not much documentation, I'll admit.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

If you worked with him, and you can confirm his first name is "Van Dyke", then that'll swing the balance for me. Maybe ninehours will also be able to get verification on this...

Tim this is the reply i got to the question

Can you tell me if Dyke is Mr. Parks middle name or part of his first

Hi Nick,
Most people call him "Van Dyke", though I've met people who refered to
him as "Van". VDP himself signs all mails with "Van Dyke". Does that help?

Great, thanks! That, combined with VibroCount's remarks, convinces me to use Van Dyke/Parks. Thanks for your input!
