Randy Newman is one of the greatest American recording artists. If you don’t know his work, start with Sail Away, his 1972 album. I saw him live in 1971 with Bonnie Raitt as the opening act at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, It was just Newman and his piano, similar to his 1971 live album.
I was glad to see him getting attention because of the new book about him
Sad!
