Browse piano sheets by Arthur Hamilton on Zen Virtual Piano. Arthur Hamilton was a songwriter who, according to The Hollywood Reporter, came to Los Angeles with his parents as an infant. He learned to play piano and in 1949 wrote a live stage musical, What a Day, for local station KTTV. He then spent a couple of years working for a music publishing company. For Warner Bros.’ Pete Kelly’s Blues (1955), Hamilton created two wistful songs for Peggy Lee, who played an alcoholic jazz singer: “He Needs Me” and “Sing a Rainbow,” which would evolve into a children’s classic. The SCL’s In Memoriam tribute describes his presence in the Hollywood film music community as undeniable, as a gifted songwriter and for the service he gave to the profession, whether as a member of the ASCAP Foundation Board or as a Music Branch Governor at the Motion Picture Academy. It adds that he was there at the very founding of the SCL and served as its second president from 1985 to 1987. The tribute also remembers his enthusiasm: he was totally enthusiastic about creating a new song, every time.
