Richard Stilgoe

Singer, songwriter and lyricist Richard Stilgoe. I have seen him on some old Royal Variety Show lately and bought a CD of his, funny, chanson-like. Best known probably for his lyrics to Starlight Express, Phantom of the Opera and other musicals. From Wikipedia:"Stilgoe gave away all his royalties for his work as lyricist on Starlight Express to a village in India. Such was the musical's success that for some years these donations were exceeding 500 Pounds a day." Just great. :)
