The Rupert Holmes Songbook

Known for his No. 1 hit “Escape (The Pina Colada Song),” the Top Ten song “Him,” and his Tony Award(R) winning musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Rupert Holmes has written for other performers as well, including Dolly Parton, Barry Manilow, the Partridge Family, and, famously and prolifically, Barbra Streisand. He’s also a playwright—Holmes won two Tony Awards for his musical Drood; a TV writer—he penned four seasons of AMC’s first original show, Remember WENN, plus all of its music; and novelist (Where the Truth Lies).

This collection captures the very best of Rupert Holmes’s musical output in piano/vocal/guitar arrangements and also features appreciations and quotes about his talent by stars he has collaborated with, among others.
