Paul Hampton
演员
An actor, singer, composer, lyricist, and writer, Paul Hampton is
listed as one of the one hundred major architects of American rock and
roll, in the British rock journal, "Footsoldiers and Kings". He
attended Dartmouth College, where by his sophomore year he was
simultaneously signed by Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures to
write music with Hal David and
Burt Bacharach. He has written songs
which have been recorded by
Johnny Cash,
Gene Pitney,
Elvis Presley,
Ricky Nelson,
Merle Haggard,
Tom Jones,
Eddy Arnold,
Bette Midler and
Sammy Davis Jr.. He has also written
lyrics, composed music, and collaborated on the book for a musical,
"Love is a Crime". It's a culmination of years of songwriting, based on
a concept and an idea he has had for a long time, of wanting to put
"Love" on trial, theatrically and musically.
