Artist Biography - Joel Grey
|
 He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1972 for his performance as the Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret. His victory was part of a "Cabaret" sweep, which saw Liza Minnelli win Best Actress and Bob Fosse win Best Director. Grey's and Fosse's victories were surprising considered the juggernaut of that year, The Godfather. Grey beat front-runner Al Pacino for Best Supporting Actor while Fosse beat Francis Ford Coppola for Best Director, a loss Coppola would make up for two years later. The most surprising thing is that, he is regarded as one among those seven people who has won not only the Tony Award in the year 1967 and also an Academy Award, in Oscar and that too for the same role. He has also performed at The Muny in St. Louis, MO. and has also done a number of times the roles such as George M. Cohan in George M (1992); Joey Evans in Pal Joey (1983); Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret (1971); George M. Cohan in George M (1970).
Joel Grey is a accomplished singer also, although it is not so detailed. As such he has also appeared in some of the recording of his albums, such as the soundtracks for the film and Broadway for Cabaret and two other shows that was released on CD in the year 1997, Chicago and Goodtime Charlie. He has also released three non-Broadway show related albums: Whoever Heard of a Fird, Black Sheep Boy, and Songs My Father Taught Me. These albums provide an insight into the musical inspirations of the greatest talents in the history of American musical theater. His next album Black Sheep Boy is a collection of all the pop songs that has been chosen by Joel Grey that includes some of the compositions by Tim Hardin, Donovan, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney, Simon and Garfunkle and Cream. The album Songs My Father Taught Me includes the folk music of the Jewish culture that Joel Grey heard while growing up as the son of Mickey Katz.
