From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Radomski (born 1932, stage name James Rado, business name James Radomicki), is an American actor, writer and composer, best known as the co-author, along with Gerome Ragni, of the groundbreaking 1960s rock musical Hair. He and Ragni were nominated for the 1969 Tony Award for best musical, and they won for best musical at the Grammy Awards in 1969.
He began as an actor, and reportedly did some children's theatre and then moved to New York in the early 1960s, where he appeared in some minor roles on Broadway (including Hair). Since then, he has been involved in the interchanging worlds of theatre and films, mainly being a writer or composer for films.
