SINGER RANDY NEWMAN IS 72 TODAY


Randall Stuart "Randy" Newman was born in Los Angeles, California.

Singer/songwriter, composer, and arranger Randy Newman composed the 
music for Toy Story in 1995. He has won two Academy Awards, and has
been nominated for twenty. In 2007, he was inducted as a Disney Legend.

His early songs were recorded by Gene Pitney, Jerry Butler, Petula Clark,
Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon, the O’Jays and The Fleetwoods,
among others. Newman has credited The Fleetwoods with giving him his
