Academy Award-winning singer/songwriter and satirist Randy Newman first found success as a solo artist with his second album, the 1970 classic 12 Songs. His last commercially successful album was 1983's Trouble in Paradise (which featured the iconic hit "I Love L.A."), but Newman has become a go-to film composer, contributing recognizable scores for films such as The Natural, Seabiscuit and four of Pixar's animated films including Toy Story, Cars and Monsters, Inc. Revered for his witty and politically savvy lyrics, Newman was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.

Watch videos & listen free to Randy Newman: Sail Away, You've Got a Friend in Me & more, plus 11 pictures. Randall Stuart Newman (born 28th November 1943) is an American songwriter, arranger, singer and pianist who is notable for his mordant pop songs and for his many film scores. Newman is noted as a lyricist of considerable sophistication. He often writes songs from unusual perspectives, often utilizing an unreliable narrator. His many place-name songs, which are often archetypal examples of ambivalent Americana, include "I Love L.A.", "Baltimore", "Louisiana 1927", and "Dayton, Ohio – 1903". His first major hit was the song entitled "Short People", wherein he was thought to have complained about midgets, but is actually complaining metaphorically about racists and bigots. "Short People" was also Newman’s highest-rated hit ever. Newman’s deceptively simple songs mask complex craftsmanship, and he is a skilled arranger.
