Final Years
Luther's last two albums, made in stereo for Pickwick International, were nostalgic re-visits to two familiar themes, A Treasury of Mother Goose Songs and American Folk Songs. He did not retire, but continued to write scores and work on recording projects in the 1970s, one being a set of songs about protecting the environment.
Frank Luther died in New York City in 1980, at age 80.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:
“Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves ... and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.”
—Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)
“Mily: You must remember me!?
Tadeusz: I never remember pretty women. It’s so expensive.
My friend, after twenty thousand years murder is still a business that’s mainly in the hands of amateurs.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
