Philip Balsam, also credited as Phil Balsam, is a Canadian singer and composer who worked on Fraggle Rock. Though the background score was mostly handled by Don Gillis, Balsam, working with lyricist Dennis Lee, composed the "Fraggle Rock Theme" and most of the songs used on the series. As recalled by Jerry Juhl in the Season 1 DVD set, "Follow Me" was the first song submitted by Balsam and Lee, as a demo, and the theme song and others followed. Balsam occasionally collaborated with other lyricists, such as writer B.P. Nichol for the song "The Joy" from "The Invasion of the Toe Ticklers."
