As a kid I listened to Walter Carlos' Switched on series, and was the kind of nerd to be a huge fan at the time. Then suddenly Wendy Carlos was continuing Walter's work and claiming she was responsible for everything Walter had done.

I was like ten, and we didn't have the internet or even CDs yet, so it sound like a sibling or marital spat, and eventually the news trickled down they were one and the same.
