 moreBorn 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 California publishing house. Newman pursued a B.A.
in music from UCLA, but he dropped out of college when his friend Lenny Waronker
landed him a record contract with Reprise Records. 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. Three Dog Night took his "Mama Told Me Not to
Come" to number one in 1970, the same year Harry Nilsson recorded an entire
album of Randy's songs, Nilsson Sings Newman.

Newman's second album, 1970's 12 Songs, was widely praised upon its release, but
the record failed to sell. Live repeated the same pattern in 1971, but 1972's
Sail Away became a moderate hit, due to positive reviews and Newman's constant
touring. He followed in 1974 with Good Old Boys, an ambitious concept album
about the South that received considerable controversy over its song "Rednecks,"
whose ironic sense of humor was misunderstood by many. The song set the stage
for 1977's "Short People," a simple satire of bigotry and prejudice taken from
Little Criminals. While the irony in "Short People" was barely hidden, the song
offended many listeners, and the ensuing furor helped the single reach number
two on the charts. Newman supported the album with his first tour since 1974.

In 1979, he returned with Born Again, which received mixed reviews, and Newman
began a career as a film composer two years after its release. His first score
was for Milos Forman's Ragtime, and his work was nominated for two Academy
Awards. Newman released Trouble in Paradise to strong reviews in 1983, and the
album spawned "I Love L.A.," a parody of shallow yuppie culture that was
misinterpreted and became an anthem for '80s greed. Newman didn't release
another album until 1988's Land of Dreams, which contained his first attempts at
personal songwriting. Like most of his records, the album was greeted warmly by
the critics, yet it failed to sell; "It's Money That Matters," a rewrite of "I
Love L.A.," did become a minor hit.

Newman spent most of the '90s composing film scores and working on a musical
adaptation of Dr. Faust. The resulting musical, Faust, was initially released as
a concept album in the fall of 1995 to mixed reviews. A stage version of Faust
opened the same month as the album's release, and it received better reviews.
Newman garnered another Oscar nomination in 1996 for "You've Got a Friend,"
which was featured in the Disney computer-animated film Toy Story. His career
was celebrated in 1998 with the release of the four-disc box set Guilty: 30
Years of Randy Newman.

Newman split with his longtime record company Reprise in early 1999. He signed
with DreamWorks and released Bad Love, his first proper album since 1988's Land
of Dreams, in the summer of 1999. A number of film projects followed, and Newman
once again put his solo career on hiatus while composing music for several
movies. In 2003, Newman signed with the artist-friendly Nonesuch label, and that
year he released his label debut, The Randy Newman Songbook, in which he
performed new solo piano and vocal arrangements of some of his most celebrated
songs. (A second Songbook album was released in 2011, and Vol. 3 appeared in
2016.) Newman returned in 2008 with Harps and Angels, an album that revisited
the biographical approach first attempted with Land of Dreams. In 2009 and 2010,
Newman focused his creative energies on film music, scoring The Princess and the
Frog and Toy Story 3; both earned Oscar and Grammy nods, and in the case of Toy
Story 3, wins. He returned in 2017 with yet another Pixar soundtrack, Cars 3.
Later the same year, Newman also released Dark Matter, a witty and often topical
set that was his first album of new songs in nine years. Film scores continued
to be Newman's bread and butter, and 2019 saw the release of the soundtrack to
Marriage Story, a comedy-drama starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.
Newman also supplied the music to Toy Story 4, earning his 23rd Grammy
nomination in the process for the song "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy." ©
