Lionel Bart was a writer and composer of British pop music and
musicals, best known for creating the book, music and lyrics for
Oliver! He also wrote the famous songs Living Doll (Cliff Richard)
and From Russia With Love (Matt Munroe).He was a millionaire aged
thirty in the Sixties, bankrupt in the Seventies and died in
1999.In this first revealing biography, the authors gained
exclusive access to Bart's personal archives - his unfinished
autobiography, his letters and scrapbooks. They detail how he
signed away the rights to Oliver! to finance his new musical Twang
- based on Robin Hood - which flopped badly in the theatre. Reveal
how his heavy drinking led to diabetes and how he died in 1999 aged
69 from liver cancer. They have interviewed his personal
secretaries, friends, family, counsellors and many of the
performers, musicians and producers who worked with him.
Interviewees include Rocky Horror's Richard O'Brien and actors
Dudley Sutton and Nigel Planer.
