Artie Butler was born in Brooklyn, NY, and as a teenager was discovered by the legendary songwriting and producing team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Artie was hired to replace a pianist for a recording session and as they say... “the rest is history.” Artie is one of the most respected arrangers and composers in the music business. He has been involved in every phase of the music industry: arranging, composing, producing, supervising and playing. He has arranged over one hundred hit records and played on hundreds of other recordings. He has been awarded over sixty gold and platinum albums. His featured piano work and arrangement on the hit record Feelin Alright by Joe Cocker remains a true classic in American pop music and rock and roll. Arties song Heres To Life is becoming one of the new standards. In 1990 it was recorded by Shirley Horn and was on the jazz charts for one year. In 2009 it was recorded by Barbra Streisand. He received a Grammy nomination for his arrangement of “I Know I’ll Never Love This Way Again” for Dionne Warwick. He is a three-time Emmy nominee, including a nomination for his outstanding work as composer and music supervisor on the CBS mini-series Sinatra based on the life of Frank Sinatra. He is a recipient of a Cannes Film Festivel award for his outstanding music For Eastman Kodak. Now Stephanie Spruill Thank You Artie Butler https://itunes.apple/us/album/heres-to-life/id948062027…
