In 1961, Randy issued a one-off 45, 'Golden gridiron boy' which was produced by singer Pat Boon. After it's flop, he became a staff-writer for 'Liberty Records', writing hits for Vic Dana, Gene Mc Daniels, Cilla Black, Gene Pitney,ect in the mid-60's.

In 1968, he finaly issued his eponymous debut for Warners subsidiary 'Reprise'. In April 1970, Newman issued his second album '12 Songs', which included 'Mama told me not to come', a record that went on to become a US chart topper for 'Three Dog Night'. 1972's, 'Sail Away' was anotherearly classic. 'Born Again' (1979) brought further criticism that Newman was crossing the line between satire and self-satisfied condascension, his collaboration with members of 'The Eagles'marking a move towards a more typical L.A sound. During the mid-80's, he concetrated on film work with a score for 'The Natural'(1984) and contributions for 'The Three Amigos' (1987).
For the first half of the 90's, Newman worked feverishly on his very own Rock Opera project 'FAUST'. Randy Newman's Faust is a 1993 musical-Rock Opera by American musician and songwriter Randy Newman, who based the work on the classic story of Faust, borrowing elements from the version by Goethe, as well as Milton's Paradise Lost, but updating the story to the modern day, and infusing it with humorous cynicism. Adapting Goethe's classic morality play for the '90s, Newman has his God and Devil vying for the soul of a Harvard college student. However, neither wins because they can't keep abreast of modern times -- the Devil tempts the student with a recording contract, but the student wants his own video game company since that's where the money is.
Newman's humor is forced and not all that funny, while his eye for detail isn't as sharp as it is on his classic albums.
