Joseph Guilherme Raposo Jr., (February 8, 1937 – February 5, 1989) was a Portuguese-American composer, songwriter, pianist, television writer and lyricist, best known for his work on the children's television series Sesame Street, for which he wrote the theme song, as well as classic songs such as "Bein' Green" and "C is for Cookie". ______________________________________________________________________________ He wrote the "Sesame Street Theme" – various versions of which have opened every episode – as well as many of its most popular songs, such as "Bein' Green," "Sing," "C is for Cookie" and "ABC-DEF-GHI." Most of the music used in Sesame Street's film segments was also written – and often sung – by Raposo. Raposo's songwriting tended towards wistful introspections on life and nature. Primarily celebrated for his bright, uptempo major key compositions, he also showed skill at arranging original blues and jazz pieces in minor key, and often took sudden melancholy lyrical detours in the midst of otherwise cheerful songs. ______________________________________________________________________________ "The Songs of Joe Raposo" is a tribute to the music of Joe Raposo that has been created especially by some of his biggest fans in the Indie music community. Artists were hand-picked for this project for their affinity with both Raposo's music and the pop idiom.
