About the Author
Born November 21, 1943 in the Bronx, New York I attended New York City public schools and graduated, at seventeen, from William Howard Taft High School in 1961. While still in Junior High, I saw the original cast of 'The Music Man' on Broadway and instantly fell in love with the musical theater. I immediately started writing songs and little plays. During high school, I studied the French horn and played 2nd horn in the school orchestra and band. Then, at seventeen, I had my first songs published by Hill & Range Music Publishing Co.After graduation, though still writing, I worked as an office boy for a food brokerage company who sold food and household goods to commissary stores on military bases, including the company owned product, Formula 409. When the owner of the company moved the offices from the Chrysler building to Westport Connecticut, I made the daily commute until I was called to basic training in the U.S. Army Reserves having enlisted in a Medical Reserve unit in the Bronx to avoid the inevitability of being drafted. I completed my six months active duty in the spring of 1963 and became a regular fixture in the hallways of the Brill building and 1650 Broadway, which were the center of the music business universe, at the time. I had songs recorded by various R&B and Pop artists. In September of that year I signed my first exclusive songwriters agreement with the legendary Don Kirshner, president of Columbia Pictures music publishing division, Screen Gems-Columbia Music, having been brought to his attention by music business giant Charlie Koppleman. During my years at Screen Gems I constantly rubbed shoulders with Carol King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Neil Sedaka, Howie Greenfield, Helen Miller and Carl D'Errico. I had dozens of songs recorded, including: 'MAKE ME YOUR BABY' by Barbara Lewis; 'IT'S MY LIFE' by the Animals; 'PRINCESS IN RAGS' by Gene Pitney; 'WORKIN' ON A GROOVY THING' by the Fifth Dimension; 'THE KIND OF GIRL I COULD LOVE' by
