Music
The multi-talented, multi-faceted Randy Newman, singer-songwriter extraordinaire, performing some of the greatest songs in his considerable catalogue at the Jazz Open Festival in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2006. Many of Newman's best-loved and best-known songs arfe here: "You've Got A Friend In Me," from the "Toy Story" film franchise; "Louisiana 1927," which was revived throughout the world in the wake of Hurricane Katrina; Ï Think It's Going To Rain Today," from Newman's first album (and made famous by Judy Collins's cover), the controversial hits "Short People" and "I Love L.A."; and many more. Newman also delves into less obvious corners of his repertoire: the autobiographical "Dixie Flyer," for example, and more recent songs like "I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It)." A fascinating, funny, compelling event from one of our greatest musical talents.
