His career spanned more than 50 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landing his first major film role as The Artful Dodger in the David Lean\u2019s 1948 film <em>Oliver twist.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newley went from being a child star actor, to rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll idol, songwriter extraordinaire, author, to a West End actor, and director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was one of Broadway\u2019s greatest leading men building a truely international following. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newley\u2019s vocal style has been recognized as a major influence on that of David Bowie, most notably in his song <em>The Laughing Gnome<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wrote for many years together with Leslie Bricusse, spanning theatrical works and a number of musical film scores including the wonderful  1971 <em>Willy Wonka &amp; The Chocolate Factory.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also composed one of the most successful James Bond movie Themes ever, <em>Goldfinger.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such was their influence that in 1987 he and Bricusse were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, the only other British writers to be honoured in this way were Noel Coward, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Meeting Anthony Newley<\/mark><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"> <\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I first met Anthony Newley whilst he was recording the music for the movie,<em> Quilp <\/em>at <span style=\"font-size: Revert; color: initial;\">De Lane Lea\/CTS Wembley England<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>I had long been a fan of Newley\u2019s and considered him a true giant of the entertainment Industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the recording I only managed to work on a few of the minor overdub sessions on the movie, but this did allow me the privilege of working with yet another person I had admired for such a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title song<em> Quilp <\/em>I thought would become a musical classic, sadly the movie bombed and the music along with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be seventeen years before I would meet Tony again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I owned a recording studio in Chiswick in West London and Newley had booked a couple of days to record a few piano and vocal demos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he arrived I reminded him that we had met at Wembley back in the seventies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He of course had no recollection of this at all however we spent two fabulous days recording. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony being very pleased with the outcome continued to rebook the studio over the next few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this time we recorded an album together and remained great friends until his passing in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">The PolyGram TV &amp; Record Deal Offer<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony received an offer to record an album for the PolyGram TV label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was very unhappy and concerned that the people negotiating the deal were from the film industry and did not really understand the music business so he asked me if I could talk to PolyGram on his behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I explained to him that this was impossible for me to do as the deal was already underway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several weeks later Tony informed me that the deal was cancelled due to PolyGram signing the actor Ian McShane instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We knew McShane couldn\u2019t write a song or sing but we both agreed that he had a higher TV profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I offered to cover all the costs and produce the album with Tony at my own studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My son Nathan was working for me at this time and I gave him the job of driving Tony to and from the studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the first day of recording I took Nathan to Newley\u2019s house to introduce him to Tony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We sat drinking tea while Tony was reading his horoscope to both of us from his daily paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The horoscope read, <em>\u201cThe project you are about to embark on will be difficult and demanding and only with luck, will it be successful<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking up from his newspaper he said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell what shall we do\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nathan immediately replied, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBuy another newspaper.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newley roared with laughter and from that moment Tony and Nathan\u2019s friendship was sealed forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newley was very at ease with Nathan, his age allowed him to be unaware of Tony\u2019s unbelievable career which made Nathan a friend of Tony\u2019s not an admirer of Newley\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony would often refer to Nathan as his adopted son, he could make Newley laugh in a second and they both enjoyed each other\u2019s company very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Anthony Newley Pt 2 Of 5 1960 The Most Promising  Newcomer, Lionel Blair Shirley Bassey\/Jack Parnell\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c8voLx9ek2k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
