Jule Styne, Songwriter

Jule Styne started out in Hollywood as a vocal coach transitioning to writing songs when 20th Century Fox’s Daryl Zanuck fired him. He moved seamlessly to writing songs for many Hollywood films before writing scores for Broadway musicals. Even if he hadn’t earned his place in songwriting history by writing the Academy Award winning song, 'Three Coins in the Fountain' or  'It’s Been a Long, Long Time'

he will forever be known as the Broadway composer of one the ten best musicals of all time, 'Gypsy'. If that wasn’t enough he wrote the score for 'Funny Girl', the musical that catapulted Barbra Streisand to stardom.
