Silhouettes (ver. 1) by Bob Crewe - Piano Sheets and Free Sheet Music

Bob Crewe (born Stanley Robert Crewe, November 12, 1931, Newark, New Jersey) is an American songwriter, singer, manager, record producer and fine artist. His career ranks among the most varied, successful, and innovative in pop music history. Crewe first rose to prominence during the era of such legendary music makers as Jerry Wexler, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector. He is also known for co-writing, with Bob Gaudio, a string of Top 10 singles for The Four Seasons. He is equally known for his hit recordings with The Rays, Diane Renay, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Freddy Cannon, Lesley Gore, Oliver, Michael Jackson, Bobby Darin, Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, Patti LaBelle and his own The Bob Crewe Generation. Reared in Belleville, New Jersey, Crewe demonstrated an early and apparent gift for both art and music. Although lacking in formal musical training, he instinctively gravitated to learning from many of the great 19th and 20th century classical romantic composers as well as giants of jazz and swing, including Stan Kenton, Harry James, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Tommy Dorsey. He studied for almost a year at Parsons School of Design in New York City with the intention of eventually pursuing a career in architecture. After a European trip as a young man, Crewe returned to U.S. and landed a succession of recording contracts as a solo singing artist. Although gifted with movie star-worthy good looks, a powerful singing voice, distinctive style and pop star aspirations, his gifts as a songwriter and entrepreneur were to bring him his greatest attention, success and acclaim.
