A short vignette assembled to honor and thank a very special composer. The music is an American 1972 high school chorus rendition of "Listening To You" from the legendary musical "Tommy", by The Who.
During the "Harvard" image sequence (the building is Harvard's Music School, where Joe studied), the bespectacled older woman seated at the piano is Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger, who served as music instructor to Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Quincy Jones, Phillip Glass, Burt Bacharach and dozens of other star musical names you'll also recognize. In 1958, she happened to also instruct a young student named Joe Raposo.
You may also spot Karen and Richard Carpenter. In 1973, the Carpenters overheard and "fell in love with" Joe's composition "Sing", and picked it as the first single for their upcoming album "Now and Then". This was despite A&M; warning it would not be a hit. Karen and Richard were right; A&M; was wrong. "Sing" soared to No. 3 on Billboard and earned the siblings their seventh gold record.
The child clutching Raggedy Ann at 1:06 is my visual homage to the "Raggedy Ann" animated musical feature Joe Raposo composed in 1977.
The photograph at 1:18 shows Joe alongside Dr. Seuss, with whom he composed the music of at least three animated programs in the late Seventies. The two shared a sense of whimsy and became very close friends.
The penultimate image is one I Photoshopped of what Joe, Jon Stone and Jim Henson might look like today, if they had only remained with us. I imagined Jim would be very into world music and using it extensively with the Muppets - and might have dreaded his hair out by now, like a lot of guys his age (at least in Santa Fe, where Jim lived for awhile and owned a ranch). It's a fanciful look - but I could see Henson doing it, because in Santa Fe, that's the 60-something male hippie look. Miss you, Jim.
The remaining photos are of our generation. I guess I should mention if you look closely at image 00:38, the two girls are watching Roosevelt Franklin - a character sadly removed from Sesame, whom Joe Raposo very clearly enjoyed scoring themes and instructional music for.
This is for Joe's fans: all of us everywhere.
Enjoy. :)

Joseph Guilherme Raposo, OIH (February 8, 1937 – February 5, 1989) was a Portuguese-American composer, songwriter, pianist, television writer and lyricist, best known for his work on the children's television series Sesame Street, for which he wrote the theme song, as well as classic songs such as "Bein' Green" and "C is for Cookie". He also wrote music for television shows such as The Electric Company, Shining Time Station and the sitcoms Three's Company and The Ropers, including their theme songs. In addition to these works, Raposo also composed extensively for the DePatie-Freleng Enterprises such as Halloween Is Grinch Night, Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You? and The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat.
Raposo was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, the only child of Portuguese immigrant parents Joseph Soares Raposo and Maria da Ascenção Vitorino Raposo. He was a graduate of Harvard College, class of 1958, where he was well known for writing the scores for several Hasty Pudding shows.
Raposo worked in musical theater both before and after his work for The Children's Television Workshop and Sesame Street; musical theater was where he first encountered future collaborator Jim Henson. According to Jonathan Schwartz, during the mid-1960s, before Sesame Street, Raposo performed side music in piano bars in Boston to make ends meet, and also served as pianist and music director for a jazz trio working at Boston's WNAC-TV. Upon hearing Raposo's musical skill, Schwartz claims in his autobiography he urged Raposo to give up piano bar playing in Boston and "take his ass to New York". Raposo's decision to take Schwartz's suggestion and move to New York in 1965 eventually led him to his fated meeting with Henson, to Sesame Street, and towards international fame.

Famous quotes by Joe Raposo:
"Sing, Sing a song, Sing out loud, Sing out strong, Sing of good things, not bad, Sing of happy, not sad, Sing, Sing a song, Make it simple, To last your whole life long, Don't worry that it's not good enough, For anyone else to hear, Sing, Sing a song."

A short vignette assembled to honor and thank a very special composer. The music is an American 1972 high school chorus rendition of "Listening To You" from the legendary musical "Tommy", by The Who.
During the "Harvard" image sequence (the building is Harvard's Music School, where Joe studied), the bespectacled older woman seated at the piano is Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger, who served as music instructor to Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Quincy Jones, Phillip Glass, Burt Bacharach and dozens of other star musical names you'll also recognize. In 1958, she happened to also instruct a young student named Joe Raposo.
You may also spot Karen and Richard Carpenter. In 1973, the Carpenters overheard and "fell in love with" Joe's composition "Sing", and picked it as the first single for their upcoming album "Now and Then". This was despite A&M; warning it would not be a hit. Karen and Richard were right; A&M; was wrong. "Sing" soared to No. 3 on Billboard and earned the siblings their seventh gold record.
The child clutching Raggedy Ann at 1:06 is my visual homage to the "Raggedy Ann" animated musical feature Joe Raposo composed in 1977.
The photograph at 1:18 shows Joe alongside Dr. Seuss, with whom he composed the music of at least three animated programs in the late Seventies. The two shared a sense of whimsy and became very close friends.
The penultimate image is one I Photoshopped of what Joe, Jon Stone and Jim Henson might look like today, if they had only remained with us. I imagined Jim would be very into world music and using it extensively with the Muppets - and might have dreaded his hair out by now, like a lot of guys his age (at least in Santa Fe, where Jim lived for awhile and owned a ranch). It's a fanciful look - but I could see Henson doing it, because in Santa Fe, that's the 60-something male hippie look. Miss you, Jim.
The remaining photos are of our generation. I guess I should mention if you look closely at image 00:38, the two girls are watching Roosevelt Franklin - a character sadly removed from Sesame, whom Joe Raposo very clearly enjoyed scoring themes and instructional music for.
This is for Joe's fans: all of us everywhere.
Enjoy. :)
