Matt started out in the Vaudeville tradition!
Being exposed to music from an early age with his parents both being professional musicians (mum played the violin, dad was a singer), Matt Dennis took to the piano, singing and arranging like a fish to water!
Performing with his family from an early age in the Vaudeville tradition, Matt got to know American showbiz before he even learned to read or write.
Among Matt Dennis’ most famous tunes you can find Everything Happens To Me (Frank Sinatra had a hit with this tune), Will You Still Be Mine, and Angel Eyes.
Angel Eyes probably being his biggest tune, Dave Brubeck liked it so much he recorded an entire album of Matt Dennis tunes and called it Angel Eyes.
