Biography

American songwriter, screenwriter, director, actor, and novelist whose work has earned him an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award. Also, he has been nominated for three additional Oscars, two more Golden Globes, eight Grammy Awards, and two Tony Awards.

With composer Michael Gore, Pitchford collaborated on three songs for Alan Parker's 1980 motion picture Fame; these were "Red Light," a disco hit for singer Linda Clifford; the symphonic/rock finale "I Sing the Body Electric;" and the title song "Fame," which became a multi-platinum, international best seller for Irene Cara. That song earned Gore and Pitchford an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year (1981). They also received a Grammy nomination for Best Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
