Singer-songwritergenius and star-satirist
Oh It's Lonely At The Top! That is still one of his most subtle hits. Aside, of course: Short People, Mama Told Me Not To Come, You Can Leave Your Hat On, Rider In The Rain, Naked Man, Simon Smith And The Amazing Dancing Bear, Rednecks, Birmingham, Sail Away...
But there are also the countless soundtracks, including for Ragtime and – pay attention, kids – Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Cars... All tours de force by this American star-satirist, singer and pianist.
This is an everlasting musical must for those who like playful language, dry humour and resplendent piano. Randy Newman can cheerfully limit himself to his very own extensive oeuvre and knows how to entertain like the best of them.
