		Between 1977 and 1988, Randy Newman seemed bound and determined to prove he could be a pop star, which is no small task when your voice is froggy, wear glasses, and your favorite themes are racism and insensitivity.
		Randy Newman was the nephew of film composers Alfred, Emil, and Lionel Newman (his own father was a doctor), which would suggest at least some familiarity with the field, even though he had only scored one minor movie (Cold Turkey).
		Newman had long displayed a fascination with the American South, and Good Old Boys was a song cycle where he gave free reign to his most imaginative (and venomous) thoughts on the...

	Randy Newman \| The A.V. Club
		Newman learned to see the world from different perspectives early in life, as his childhood was divided between Los Angeles and New Orleans.
		Born into a family with a rich music tradition—his uncles Alfred, Emil, and Lionel Newman were successful film composers—Newman caught the tail end of the songwriter-for-hire era in the '60s, and contributed songs to albums by Dusty Springfield, among others.
		Newman finally had a hit in 1977 with "Short People," which used a ridiculous prejudice to condemn intolerance in general, though the joke flew over many indignant listeners' heads.

		Newman, who was born in New Orleans, says he is appalled by the corruption and incompetence he's seen in the aftermath of the storm.

	Randy Newman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newman is noted for his practice of writing lyrics from the perspective of a "character" far removed from Newman's own biography, often utilizing the literary device of an unreliable narrator.
		Newman became a professional songwriter by the time he was seventeen; his early songs were recorded by Gene Pitney, among others.
		Newman's Faust project had been many years in the making, and it suffered for it; a central joke was Newman's depiction of Faust as a shallow heavy metal music fan in thrall to Satan, and this had to be modified to accommodate the less-than-devil obsessed age of grunge rock that was in fashion by 1995.

		But it was another composer who Newman says served as his greatest mentor early on: Stephen Sondheim, who championed one of Newman's earliest works, a musical theatre piece entitled Three Mean Fairy Tales.
		Newman's score for Little Women is indicative of his approach to film composition, drawing elements not only from the story itself, but from the world as portrayed by the director.

	Screen Archives
		Newman's score covers the film with a romantic mist of longing and nostalgia, making wide use of two main themes: one a optimistic title song (with lyrics by Sammy Cahn, performed by Johnny Mathis), the other a melancholy, bittersweet melody often carried by piano.
		Newman also provides a rich handful of original themes and passages for the story's supporting characters.
		Following Newman's music is a bonus section of the film's source cues, a rare instrumental demo of the theme, several cues repeated in mono (for which the stereo masters -- also included in the main program -- have sustained deterioration), and even an example of the film's temporary music ("Street Scene").

	Randy Newman - song writer and film composer
		Randy Newman is perhaps the more junior member of the Newman clan, being related to the Alfred Newman, Lionel Newman, David Newman and Thomas Newman.
		But he was clearly also influenced by his uncles, Alfred, Lionel and Emil who were all heavily involved in the writing and production of music for the film industry.
		Solo piano (played by Randy Newman himself) features prominently and gives a suggestion of ragtime, and the main theme has an ability to wrap around endlessly as its final chord seems to demand another iteration.

		Newman was also present at Williams' sessions for Star Wars and Empire, I believe serving as the session producer.
		Apparently Newman was also a bit of a joker, and used to call Jerry Goldsmith "Gorgeous", because of the composer's fastidiousness about his hair and appearance (Newman even placed a pan of water on the podium one day so Goldsmith could admire himself).
		It has always been pretty obvious that Lionel's main claim to fame was to have been born the brother of Alfred; the latter a Hollywood genius and legend, rightly lauded constantly as such; the former an adequate song and score writer/conductor, and apparent all-round OK studio man to have around.

		Newman always has the more-or-less irony-free medium of soundtrack and film scoring to occupy his working hours.
		In contrast to his lyrics, Newman's scores for films such as "The Natural" are full of old-fashioned sweeping heroics.
		If Newman is prolific as a film composer, he's much less so as a pop artist.

		For a talent as prodigious as the legendary Alfred Newman, it really says something that over eighty of the two hundred-plus scores he composed in his lifetime were penned during his lengthy tenure at Twentieth Century Fox.
		Newman's B-theme gets a lot of mileage as well, slowly developing from a state of hopeful intimidation ("Who Wanted It" and "Gregg (New York)") into a cold and relentless death knell for one of the doomed protagonists ("Then Let Go — Now", "I'm Busy Tonight", and "Gregg's Dementia").
		Newman's also got some other secondary themes working in and out of the fabric, most notably the diversely pretty "Barbara And Sidney" and "The Corsage", an undulating waltz.

		His many place-name songs, many of which are archetypal examples of ambivalent Americana, include "I Love L.A.," "Baltimore," "Louisiana 1927," and "Dayton, Ohio - 1903." Newman is also a consummate musician whose deceptively simple songs mask an unparalleled craftsmanship, and he is a highly skilled arranger.
		His debut album, ''Randy Newman'', was unsuccessful upon its 1968 release (see 1968 in music).
		Newman has the dubious distinction of receiving the most Oscar nominationnominations without a single win (15).

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - Seattle: "The Education of Randy Newman - 10/31/02
		This revue, which aspires to tell composer/lyricist Newman's own life story through a mixture of many of his good old (and a few dismal new) songs, defeats the best efforts of a hard-working, thoroughly professional cast, and makes the writer look like the most hollow and egotistical fella in show business.
		The show, conceived by Michael Roth, Jerry Patch and Newman himself, opens with a new and somewhat amusing number which says if a descendant of John Adams can write a book about his family, why can't Newman write a show about his, and includes film music greats Alfred and Lionel Newman.
		Daniel Jenkins as the Newman facsimile approximates Newman's persona, style and vocal delivery very well, and he shows as he did in another troubled but far better musical, Big, that he is a major talent just waiting for the right role.
