Industry observers have dubbed multiple award winning Steve Dorff an enigma who has evolved into a gifted composer in every musical field. There is no way to capture the diversity he regularly displays scoring major motion pictures, television, theater, or via an array of 1 Song Of The Year honors. His many songs have been sung by some of the greatest artists of our time: Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, George Strait, Vanessa Williams and countless others.
Emmy Nominee for five television compositions, his credits are exemplary and include such stalwarts as "Murphy Brown" and "Murder She Wrote". You'll also find his name on evergreens like "Growing Pains", "Alien Nation", "Spenser: for Hire", "Major Dad", "Columbo", "Reba" and the ABC hit "Rodney".
His many TV and cable movie credits include the Emmy nominated CBS mini-series "Elvis", the Hallmark Hall of Fame "Rose Hill", the animated Christmas classic "Annabelle's Wish", "Babe Ruth", "The Quick and The Dead", "Moonshine Highway" and "The Defiant Ones". Dorffs many movie songs and scores have been featured in "Every Which Way But Loose","Bronco Billy", "Blast From The Past", "Rocky IV", "Pure Country", "Tin Cup", "Michael","Eight Seconds", "Dudley Do-Right", "Dancer, Texas", "The Last Boy Scout", "Curly Sue" and "Honky Tonk Man".
Perhaps Dorffs most ambitious move to date has been a giant leap into his first love, musical theater. He currently has two projects making their way to the stage: "Josephine" (The Josephine Baker Story) and "Pure Country" (The Musical).
I wish for you the greatest gift that any man has found That you not only hear when lightning strikes But when a feather hits the ground And that through the wellspring of creativity You end up right where you belong Composing music set to poetry Changing the world with each new song
I like all your songs, including the hits and some non-hits. Rose Hill though, I find that healing. I come back once in a while just to listen to it. It takes an amazing gift to write something so simple, yet so beautiful.
