Edith The Show "There's another amazing Piaf performance in the movie, anc[ its c Cl ivered by someone you never see: French vocalist )il Aigrot." (Newsweek) "If5he [Marion Cotillardl has need for an acceptance speech [for the 05car5l, she Shoup be sure to thank )il Aigrot, who provided the voice or the French singer." (The Desert Sun) Edith Piaf was one of the most popular French singers of the 1940s and '50s, internationally famous for her husky, mournful voice and her songs of loneliness and despair. Born in Paris to street entertainers, her childhood was marked by poverty, illness and temporary blindness. After a stint with her father's touring acrobatic act, she sang in the streets until she was discovered by promoter Louis Leplee, who re -named her «la m6me PiaN («the waif sparrow>>). The diminutive singer gained popularity as she toured France, singing in cabarets and vaudeville theaters and, beginning in 1936, performing on radio and recordings. Her great fame came after World War 11, with her song aLe Vie en Rose)) becoming an international standard. Jil Aigrot was discovered by Ginou Richer, Edith Piafs close friend and personal secretary. Shortly after meeting, Jil Aigrot was chosen to be the singing voice of the great Edith Piaf in Olivier Dahan's award - winning film, "LA VIE EN ROSE ". Her performance and interpretations of the work of Edith Piaf as the singing voice in the acclaimed movie and on the concert stage have resulted in worldwide acclaim. The 90 minute show consists of two distinct 45 minute performances with one intermission. The first part of the show takes the audience to Montmartre, Paris's most famous artistic neighborhood. The second part is devoted to the 'music hall' period of Edith Piaf's career during which she sang her most famous hits. On stage video production includes never before seen images of Piaf's life. Jil Aigrot interprets the most successful selections of EDITH PIAF and is accompanied on stage by four musicians: pianist, accordionist, percussionist and bassist.

Though they were born and raised just blocks apart, they actually met while working together in the CBS - TV mail room in New York. Barry was determined to have a career in music, and they began by writing commercial jingles. This collaboration resulted in over 30 songs recorded by Barry, many of which have become standards of American popular song. These include "It's A Miracle," "This One's For You," "All the Time," and "Even Now." Barry's appearance on Murphy Brown— singing their first 'real' song, "I Am Your Child— attracted nation -wide media attention. Today, "I Am Your Child" serves as title and theme for Rob Reiner's I Am Your Child Foundation. The foundation— introduced with the "I Am Your Child" TV special, hosted by Tom Hanks —is dedicated to increasing awareness, of the critical importance of early childhood development. The Barry Manilow Songbook, a musical revue featuring many of Marty and Barry's most popular songs, premiered at the Mercury Theater in Chicago. Some of their greatest hits, are included on the chart topping CD Ultimate Manilow, Barry's CD 2 Nights Live!, and the recent Greatest Songs of the ?Ds. They are also featured on the multi - platinum DVD Ultimate Manilow, as well as Manilow Live from Las Vegas, First and Farewell, and the Legendary Greek Theatre Concert. http: / /www.mphwts.com/marty.html 1/22/2013 He Writes The Songs Page 2 of 3 Barry Manilow: The First Television Specials, a boxed set including five of Barry's historic programs, has also just been released. Their songs are featured on Barry's critically acclaimed Concord CD, Here at the Mayflower, as well as Diane Schuur's Concord release, Midnight. Marty and Barry wrote three songs for Diane, including "I'll Be There " —a duet with Brian McKnight, written with co- producer Eddie Arkin —and a song which quickly become Diane's 'theme' song, "Life Is Good." Spring 2012 saw the release of Barry Manilow Live in London. Marty and Barry's song "Talk To Me" became their newest Top 10 Hit, reaching #8 on the charts. With Steve Dorff, Marty wrote the Kenny Rogers classic, "Through the Years. These songs, along with recordings by Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Julio Iglesias, Frankie Valli, Dusty Springfield, Michael Crawford, Teddy Pendergrass, Dolly Parton, Davis Gaines, Daft Punk (Daft Punk ?), and many others, have garnered Marty 35 gold and platinum albums, four BMI million -play awards, a 3 million -play award, and record sales in excess of 70 million units. Marty's collaborators have included Richard Kerr, Charlie Fox, Tom Snow, Michael Masser, Randy Goodrum, Ramon Arcusa, Stephen Schwartz, and Larry Grossman. His first theatrical dialogue was written for the "Houdini" segment of the MGM Grand Hotel's 47- million dollar production EFX. The show (originally starring Michael Crawford, and later David Cassidy, Tommy Tune, and then Rick Springfield) also included his song, "Tonight," with music by Don Grady. Marty wrote eight additional lyrics for EFX, when the show was updated, a year after its opening. This remarkable entertainment, ran for a remarkable seven years. Marty's collaboration with Don Grady continued, and they wrote a new theme for Disney's Winnie The Pooh, as well as the first eight volumes of Disney's DVD series Magic English, songs for the first ever live- action interactive featurette on the DVD re- release of Alice in Wonderland, and "Sidekicks and Henchmen," for Disney's international release Once Upon a Halloween. Marty and Don wrote and produced three complete CDs for Disney: The Princess Tea Party Album, Disney's Princess Christmas Album, and Disney's Princess Party Album. These albums featured the first new songs written for the legendary Disney Princesses... in a generation. Disney's Princess Christmas Album was re- released, to include another new song of theirs for Snow White, "Christmas Eve Dinner." Tiana and Her Princess Friends, featured their songs "I'm Happy," sung by Cinderella and "A Rose is a Rose," sung by Aurora. ( "Where Do I Go from Here," sung by Pocahontas on this CD, was written with Larry Grossman.) Marty and Don also completed production of the first two episodes of the direct -to -DVD series History's Heroes ( "Patrick Henry" and "Paul Revere ") for American Animation Studios. Marty lost Don Grady —his dear friend and most passionate collaborator —in June, 2012. There are no words to describe the love and respect he had, and will always have, for Don. Marty will always treasure every moment he spent with Don Grady, and every note of every song, he wrote with Don Grady. Marty's career —and his life —were forever blessed, by the grace and talent, of this beautiful man. Marty received an Annie Award nomination for We Are One, from the Disney sequel to The Lion King - Simba's Pride, and created lyrics for the score of another Disney sequel, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World. Marty wrote lyrics AND music, for two CDs (and companion DVDs), for the widely popular children's series, Mommy and Me. http: / /www.mphwts.coln/marty.html 1/22/2013 He Writes The Songs Page 3 of 3 Having succeeded Glen Frey at UCLA, Marty will teach his nineteenth Master Class in songwriting in winter 2013.
