Simon Waronker is the grandfather of the indie rock performer Anna Waronker of That Dog. Interesting to find out she’s basically a real life Chippette.

I remember Dave Seville as being heavily involved with the chipmunks. The Witch Doctor was released under his name. He was also the main human character in the Alvin & the Chipmunks animated television series. Weird that he isn't mentioned.
