  • Randall Stuart “Randy” Newman (born November 28, 1943) is an American singer/songwriter, arranger, composer, and pianist who is notable for his pop songs and for his many film scores. Newman is noted for his practice of writing lyrics from the perspective of a character far removed from Newman's own biography, often using the literary device of an unreliable narrator. For example, the 1972 song "Sail Away" is written as a slave trader's sales pitch to attract slaves, while the narrator of "Political Science" is a U.S. nationalist who complains of worldwide ingratitude toward America and proposes a brutally ironic final solution. One of his biggest hits, "Short People" was written from the perspective of "a lunatic" who hates short people. Since the 1980s, Newman has worked mostly as a film composer. His film scores include Ragtime, Awakenings, The Natural, Leatherheads, James and the Giant Peach, Meet the Parents and Seabiscuit. He has scored five Disney-Pixar films: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc. and Cars, and is set to return for Toy Story 3 and Cars 2. He has been singled out for a number of awards by his colleagues, including an Academy Award, two Emmy Awards, four Grammy Awards, and the Governor's Award from the Recording Academy. Randy Newman was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.

  • Randy Newman, de son nom complet Randall Stuart Newman, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète et pianiste américain, né le 28 novembre 1943 à Los Angeles.
  • Tipica prassi di Newman nello scrivere i testi delle proprie canzoni è l'adozione di un punto di vista "invisibile", distante cioè dalla biografia del cantautore, e teso, semmai, a parodiare lo stesso narratore che, in molti casi, risulta essere protagonista e zimbello della canzone stessa. Così, ad esempio, nella canzone Sail away del 1972, chi canta è un trafficante di schiavi, per non parlare di God's song, in cui è Dio stesso a farsi beffe dell'uomo, mentre in Political science troviamo uno sfegatato nazionalista americano intento a biasimare l'ingratitudine del resto del mondo di fronte alla limpida opera di civilizzazione portata avanti dagli USA e disposto a proporre una drastica soluzione finale: la distruzione di tutto il resto delle nazioni, ad eccezione dell'Australia ("non vogliamo far male ai canguri", dice il testo). Fin dalla fine degli anni '70, Newman si è dedicato alla composizione di colonne sonore. Sue sono le musiche di film come Ragtime di Miloš Forman, Il migliore (The Natural di Barry Levinson), il film d'animazione Toy Story, Ti presento i miei (Meet the parents di Jay Roach) e Seabiscuit di Gary Ross. È stato, peraltro, insignito, di diversi premi, tra cui un Oscar (nel 2002, con If I didn't have you, canzone di Monsters & Co. ), due Emmy Award e quattro Grammy.
