Norm Prescott has died at the age of 78. A former disc jockey (he worked alongside Bob & Ray at WHDH in Boston, among other gigs), Prescott moved to Hollywood and into film production. In 1962, he partnered with Hal Sutherland and Lou Scheimer to form Filmation Studios, which produced hundreds of episodes of animated TV shows -- including Superman, Fat Albert, Masters of the Universe, the animated Star Trek and various and sundry Archie shows -- and even a number of live-action series before it closed down in 1989.

Norm's smooth radio voice did not go to waste, as he could be heard speaking for characters in almost every Filmation show and often functioning as announcer/narrator.

Here is a site that lists all the shows he produced (it mostly focuses on ST: TAS):

I REALLLY wanna see "Lassie's Rescue Rangers"

Seriously tho... Norm Prescott was the voice of Solomon in "Shazam!"....I loved that show. He seemed to have produced some of the best animation shows of the 70's and 80's
