Born June 14, 1929 in New York City, Cy Coleman's career began at an early age with a recital at Steinway Hall at the age of six. By the time was was seventeen years old, Coleman had moved on from recitals to a more public role: performing at Manhattan supper clubs. In the late 1940s Coleman continued his pursuit of music through an education at the New York School of Music, where he also started his own performance trio.
Stil, it wasn't until the 1950's that Coleman gained recognition in the larger music community, when Frank Sinatra made two of Coleman's songs into hit singles. After the successes of "Try to Change Me Now" and "Witchcraft," Coleman continued his popular writing career with the Tony Bennett success, "Firefly." Soon thereafter, however, Coleman switched focus to the stage, where he wrote popular musical favorites such as "Little Me" and "Sweet Charity."
