Biography:
Cute and quirky with songs to match, Jim Henson`s Muppets have been responsible for over three decades of children`s entertainment that isn`t just for kids. Alongside Sesame Street, which was aimed at younger children and also created many iconic kids` TV characters, the Muppets who appeared on The Muppet Show and in the Muppets` films had a more sophisticated, wittier look and sense of humor. Artist/puppeteer Henson created a rough version of the most famous Muppet, Kermit the Frog, in 1955 for Sam and Friends, a Washington, D.C.-area children`s show for which he was a puppet designer; by the time The Muppet Show began in 1976, the Muppets were a full cast of characters -- including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Rowlf the Dog, and the Muppet band, Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem -- and their mix of sophisticated puppetry and music was already in place. Along with Henson, the Muppets` main original puppeteers and voices included Frank Oz, Richard Hunt, and Dave Goelz.
In 1976, the soundtrack to their 1972 version of The Frog Prince became one of the Muppets` first albums. In 1978, a Muppet Show soundtrack arrived, featuring classic Muppets songs like "Mah Nah Mah Nah," "Bein` Green," and the show`s theme; 1979`s The Muppet Movie, 1981`s The Great Muppet Caper, and 1984`s The Muppets Take Manhattan also featured songs that rivaled the quality of any "real" musicals of the time, including the wonderful "Rainbow Connection." The soundtrack to 1988`s The Ghost of Haffner Hall featured the Chieftains` Paddy Moloney and was the final Muppet production before Henson`s death in 1990 from pneumonia. Henson`s son Brian stepped in as Kermit`s voice and the Muppets franchise continued with productions like 1992`s The Muppet Christmas Carol, 1995`s Kermit Unpigged, 1996`s Muppet Treasure Island, and 2005`s The Muppets` Wizard of Oz. The Muppet Babies` animated shows and movies also had soundtracks, including Muppet Babies: Rock It to the Stars.
