A former child prodigy who played Carnegie Hall before he was ten, then moved from jazz piano into Broadway, composing the scores for Sweet Charity, City of Angels, and The Will Rogers Follies among more than a dozen shows. His songs "Big Spender" and "Hey, Look Me Over" became standards well beyond the theater, and he won consecutive Tony Awards for Best Original Score in 1990 and 1991, along with three Emmys and two Grammys.
