Fred Ebb

Fred Ebb (April 8, 1933 - September 11, 2004) was a musical theatre lyricist. Probably best known for his work with composer John Kander as part of the Kander and Ebb partnership, Ebb frequently wrote for such performers as Liza Minnelli and Chita Rivera. His lyrics are often known for their humour and acerbic, cynicism wit, though his best known lyrics for New York, New York do not possess these qualities.

Ebb was born in Manhattan and graduated from New York University with a bachelor?s degree in English literature in 1955. Two years later, he earned his Master?s from Columbia University. His first professional writing experience was with Phil Springer, and the first song they wrote together (?I Never Loved Him Anyhow?) after they met was sung by Carmen McCrae.
