Early life - Randy Edelman grew up in Teaneck New Jersey, It was while travelling that Randy began writing both his own music and lyrics with an eye toward doing his own albums. It was the beginning of a decade of producing and writing his own solo albums. The albums led to Randy’s appearances as an opening solo act to such diverse groups as The Carpenters and Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
His songs began being recorded by such popular recording artists as Barry Manilow (“Weekend In New England”), Olivia Newton-John, Patti LaBelle, The Carpenters, The 5th Dimension, Jackie DeShannon, Blood Sweat and Tears, Kool & The Gang, Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA), and Bing Crosby to name a few.
