Randy Newman, an anomaly among ’70s singer-songwriters, blended New Orleans R&B, cinematic pop, and biting satire. Known for the controversial “Short People” and ’80s parody anthem “I Love L.A.,” he crafted sharp, character-driven songs. His acclaimed albums, like Sail Away and Good Old Boys, balanced humor and insight. While his solo albums slowed, Newman thrived composing Oscar-winning film scores, including Toy Story and The Princess and the Frog. A witty chronicler of human quirks, Newman’s work, from Dark Matter to animated soundtracks, remains culturally resonant.
