Randy Edelman (Music)

Randy Edelman (born June 10, 1947) is an American film composer and musician born in Paterson, New Jersey.

Beginning as a pianist (and recording a few albums in the process), here is performing on Top of the Pops in 1976. Edelman's first film score was the 1973 film Executive Action. He didn't go into film scoring full-time until the 1980's, when he scored for TV movies for Henry Winkler (Fonzie from Happy Days) and series from his production company (Ryan's Four and MacGyver).

Since then, he's been known as a composer who is able to tackle multiple genres (mostly action and comedy but he's done a few dramas as well) and has a few cases of Awesome Music to his name.

You've probably heard his music in plenty of movie trailers and commercials.
