Randy Newman Sells Catalog, Including Disney Classics, to Litmus Music
Randy Newman's catalog sale to Litmus Music encompasses his share of his recorded music and publishing rights to his Disney and solo career hits.
The lifelong Angeleno launched his career in 1968 with a self-titled solo debut but came into his own in the following decade with a string of critically acclaimed albums including 1970’s mature 12 Songs, 1972’s lush Sail Away, 1974’s provacative Good Old Boys and 1977’s slick Little Criminals. Dan McCarroll, co-founder of Litmus Music, expressed unbridled enthusiasm about the acquisition, calling Newman a “brilliant songwriter and performer” whose work transcends generations. Alex Popov, head of private credit at Carlyle, emphasized the enduring presence of Newman’s music as a “staple of childhood memories and experiences for decades.”
