Jule Styne

Jule Styne was a legendary composer whose music became a defining part of mid-20th century American musical theater and popular song. Born in 1905 in London and raised in Chicago, Styne was a child piano prodigy who later became a hitmaker in Hollywood before taking Broadway by storm. His knack for crafting memorable melodies made him a favorite among singers like Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland.

Styne co-wrote dozens of musicals and classic songs, many of which have stood the test of time. He teamed up with top lyricists like Sammy Cahn and Stephen Sondheim to create shows such as Gypsy, Funny Girl, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes—productions that launched unforgettable numbers like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “People.” With an ear for catchy tunes and a flair for drama, Jule Styne helped shape the sound of Broadway and the Great American Songbook.
