About the Artist
Sid Tepper is an American songwriter, best known for his collaborations with Roy C. Bennett, which spawned several hits for Elvis Presley. As a youth, Tepper's family moved to Brooklyn, where Tepper met his future musical collaborator, Roy C. Bennett. Between 1945–1970, Tepper and Bennett published over 300 songs. Their first hit was "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" (1948), recorded by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians. Over the next 22 years, the songwriting team wrote for Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, Dean Martin, and many more. Tepper and Bennett adjusted well to the advent of rock 'n roll. In 1961, their song "The Young Ones" was instrumental in boosting the career of Cliff Richard, for whom they wrote 21 compositions. They went on to write 43 songs for Elvis Presley, the most of any songwriter, or song writing team (all related to his movies). In the 1970s, Tepper suffered a heart attack, which necessitated the end of their songwriting partnership. Tepper retired in Florida. In 2002, he and Bennett were honored in Memphis for their part in Elvis Presley's stellar career. Frank Black covered.
