Personal Quote:

[on the song, "Steam Heat"] I went to the bathroom one day and when I got in there, I decided, 'I'm not leaving this room until I've written a song about something in the room. There were certain things you can't write about in a bathroom. Then all of a sudden, the radiator started clanging and hissing. See more »

Trivia:

His best known songs include "Hernando's Hideaway", "Steam Heat" and "You've Gotta Have Heart". In addition to his work on Broadway, he also composed two ballets and the symphonic "Wilderness Suite", commissioned by the U.S. Department of the Interior. See more »
