SAMMY TIMBERG IS…

Sammy is primarily noted for the musical vitality he provided for the celluloid antics of such animation icons as Betty Boop, Popeye, Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Bluto, Superman, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Raggedy Ann and Andy to name a few.

Did you also know he wrote for many early Broadway shows and has a vast catalogue of yet unpublished works written with peers, Sammy Cahn, and Buddy Kaye among others?

Did you know Sammy studied with Rubin Goldmark, Gershwin’s teacher and wrote his Jazz Rhapsody during the  same time as  Rhapsody in Blue.  Sammy’s Jazz Rhapsody  received rave reviews but was put in a drawer for decades because he incorrectly thought there were contractual issues preventing him from playing it again.

On August 26, 1992, Sammy Timberg passed away. Shortly following,  his daughter Pat discovered his vast catalogue of musical works – wonderful, exciting, toe-tapping compositions that were lost in the stacks of the Library of Congress or stashed away in the back of closets, or locked in trunks.
