My first memory of his voice is "I love to see you smile", from the 'Parenthood' soundtrack. If you haven't seen that, its a Steve Martin classic!
Si Randy Newman n'a pas inventé de style propre, ses compos sont toutes très classes et les orchestrations, souvent sur une base de piano, sont très réussies (c'est d'ailleurs un peu ici le bottin mondain des musicos de studio). Je n'ai pas encore bien compris tous les textes, mais j'ai beaucoup apprécié sa sensibilité et surtout sa voix. Ma femme (moi aussi) lui a trouvée une ressemblance avec celle de Gary Brooker (tu sais, le chanteur du groupe, là...oui, Procol Harum!). Perso, j'ai trouvé que certaines intonations et mêmes certaines orchestrations me rappelaient beaucoup les morceaux les plus blues voire fantaisistes du premier album solo de Peter Gabriel (je pense qu'il faut envisager l'influence dans le sens inverse).
Parfois on peut penser aussi à Dylan, mais en beaucoup plus juste. Bref, tout ça c'est du très bon boulot! Randy Newman est effectivement un très grand song-writer et il serait dommage de ne retenir de ce grand homme que son travail pour Walt Disney (que je connais aussi très mal, n'étant pas très fans des "cartoons" modernes du studio).
