Al Goodman

Alfred Goodman[1] (August 12, 1890 – January 10, 1972) was a conductor, songwriter, stage composer, musical director, arranger, and pianist.[2] Before he was 20, Goodman began working in Chicago as orchestrator for M. Witmark & Sons, a music publishing company.In all, during this period of his career, Goodman directed over 150 first-night performances and became one of the Great White Way's most popular conductors.[4] He was in such demand that it was not uncommon for him to conduct the orchestra of a show for the first few performances, and then hand the baton over to another while he prepared for a new production.In addition to his many assignments as one of RCA Victor's most talented conductors and arrangers, Goodman was kept busy directing the music for radio network shows.
