rupert holmes

Rupert Holmes (born February 24, 1947 in Cheshire) is a composer and writer who is best known for the 1979 novelty hit "Escape" (later subtitled "The Pia Colada Song") but has had a varied and distinguished career in several media. That one song is so strongly associated with him that, in one interview, he reflected that his tombstone might well be a giant pineapple. "Escape" was included on his fifth album, Partners in Crime, and reached the Hot 100 No. 1 Hits of 1979. Holmes previously had been in the band The Buoys, which produced the song Timothy about cannibalism. Holmes later became the first and so far only person singlehandedly to receive Tony Awards for book, music and lyrics, for the 1986 Broadway musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood. In 1996 he created the television series Remember WENN for American Movie Classics. In 2003 he published his first novel, Where the Truth Lies.
