Besides “Simon Smith”, Price featured seven Randy Newman songs on his 1967 A Price On His Head album. [2]

Born into a musical family — his uncles Alfred and Lionel were both noted film composers — Randy Newman had become a professional songwriter by the time he was 17, working for a Californian publishing house. [3]

Newman began writing songs at an early age, and in 1968 released his first album, Randy Newman Creates Something New Under the Sun. [1]

Randall Stuart “Randy” Newman (born November 28, 1943) is an American singer/songwriter, arranger, composer, and pianist who is known for his mordant (and often satirical) pop songs and for film scores. [2]

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 Toy Story 2 (1999). [1]

His eponymous debut album received little attention upon its 1968 release, but over the next few years, his reputation as a songwriter grew as Judy Collins, Dusty Springfield and Peggy Lee recorded his songs. [3]

He has scored six Disney-Pixar films: Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Cars and most recently Toy Story 3. [4]

With one song, you get the Mini Player. [3]

Calling his inspired new album The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. I seems like a curiously upbeat and straightforward act for this frequently wry fellow. [...] In addition to being one of our greatest American singer-songwriters and film composers, Newman long ago established himself among our sharpest and most caustic wits. [5]

Newman was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Adele (n?e Fox), a secretary, and Irving George Newman, an internist. [2]

Amusingly and surprisingly to many longtime fans, the cutting social critic and sometime brilliant curmudgeon somehow found himself becoming a beloved children’s entertainer thanks to his outstanding music for films like 1995’s Toy Story, 1996’s James and the Giant Peach, 1997’s Cats Don’t Dance, 1998’s Bug’s Life and 1999’s Toy Story 2. [5]

He has scored six Disney -Pixar films: Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Cars and most recently Toy Story 3. [2]
