Charles Strouse, Composer of ‘Annie’ and ‘Bye Bye Birdie,’ Dies at 96

Mr. Strouse had more than a dozen Broadway shows to his credit and composed some of the most enduring musical theater numbers of his era: “Put On a Happy Face”and “Kids (What’s the Matter With Kids Today?)” from “Bye Bye Birdie,” which opened in 1960 and featured lyrics by his frequent collaborator Lee Adams; “But Alive” from “Applause” (1970), a musical adaptation of the movie “All About Eve” starring Lauren Bacall, with lyrics by Mr. Adams; and “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard-Knock Life” from “Annie”(1977), with lyrics by Martin Charnin.

All three shows earned Tonys for Mr. Strouse — “Birdie” and “Applause” for best musical and “Annie” for best original score. Both “Birdie” and “Annie” were made into hit movies.

 

How was he only 76?

Indianapolis Colts' music-loving owner Jim Irsay dies at age 65

 

Speaking of NBC comedies, Irsay had a cameo on Parks and Recreation. He also is a collector of literary memorabilia, including the scroll typescript of Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road, which I saw at the Kerouac museum in Lowell MA, thanks to Irsay being generous with his (veryt expensive) possessions.
