Sid Tepper, songwriter--R.I.P. - jazzboCR - 01-05-2015
You may not have heard the name but it's a lead-pipe cinch you've heard his music--with his late partner, Roy C. Bennett, dozens of tunes were composed in the '40's and '50's (most of the easy listening persuasion) plus 3 dozen songs for Elvis Presley, mostly for movies.
