Randy Newman

Born: 1943. Living in: United States

Randy Newman's pop songs of the 1970s earned him a reputation as a songwriter's songwriter, but he's famous to most audiences for his songs and scores for popular movies such as Toy Story (1995), Bug's Life (1998) and Monsters, Inc. (2001). Randy Newman began writing songs at an early age, and in 1968 released his first album, Randy Newman Creates Something New Under the Sun. During the 1970s he released several albums that received critical praise and won over loyal fans, even if they didn't make Newman into rock star celebrity. He had a top 40 hit with "Sail Away" (1972), but it was his 1977 song "Short People," a controversial parody about bigotry, that became his biggest hit. Since the 1980s he has concentrated on writing film scores, including Ragtime (1981), The Natural (1984, starring Robert Redford), James and the Giant Peach (1996) and the sequels Toy Story 2 (1999) and Toy Story 3 (2010).

Randy Newman : Anthology : Solo : Songbook : 029156911558  : 00-PF9808

Randy Newman : Anthology

Newman is noted for his practice of writing lyrics from the perspective of a character far removed from Newman's own biography, often using the literary device of an unreliable narrator. For example, the 1972 song "Sail Away" is written as a slave trader's sales pitch to attract slaves, while the narrator of "Political Science" is a U.S. nationalist who complains of worldwide ingratitude toward America and proposes a brutally ironic final solution. One of his biggest hits, "Short People" was written from the perspective of "a lunatic" who hates short people. Here are thirty great songs from this brilliant artist, including hits from such movies as Toy Story and Parenthood.

Songlist: Burn On, I Love L.A, Mama Told Me Not to Come, Short People, Sail Away, You Can Leave Your Hat On, Bleeding All Over the Place, I Love to See You Smile, It's Money That I Love, Miami, Baltimore, Burn On, Cowboy, Davy The Fat Boy, Dixie Flyer, Feels Like Home, Gainesville, I Think Its Going to Rain Today, I Want You To Hurt Like I Do, In Germany Before The War, It's Lonely At The Top, It's Money That Matters, Living Without You, Louisiana 1927, Maria, Old Man, One More Hour, Political Science, Real Emotional Girl, Rednecks, and more

Louisiana 1927 : SATB : Jay Althouse : Randy Newman : Sheet Music : 00-25162 : 038081266541

Jay Althouse : Louisiana 1927

In early 1927 heavy rains in the central United States caused the Mississippi River to flood and overflow its banks down river in Louisiana. Randy Newman's 1975 song documented that event. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, this song's lyrics have a new meaning. And with recordings by Aaron Neville and others, Louisiana 1927 has become a musical response to the floods of 2005, reminding us that Louisiana will recover just as it did from the floods of 1927. This haunting new choral arrangement by Jay Althouse adds an optional clarinet.
