マレーネ・ディートリッヒのステージに同行し、バックのオーケストラの指揮、アレンジ及びピアノを担当したころから注目を集めるようになり、1962年から70年代にかけて、作詞家のハル・デヴィッド(Hal David)とのコンビで多くのヒット曲を作曲しコンビにより最盛期を迎えた。 自身でも歌を歌うが、他のアーティストへの楽曲の提供、編曲、プロデュースにおいて、むしろ著名。特に、ディオンヌ・ワーウィック、B・J・トーマス、ダスティ・スプリングフィールド、カーペンターズ、トム・ジョーンズ、ジャック・ジョーンズなどへの楽曲提供が有名。映画音楽でも数々の楽曲を提供し、特にジョージ・ロイ・ヒル (George Roy Hill) 監督の映画『明日に向って撃て! (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) 』の主題歌『雨にぬれても (Raindrops Keep fallin' On My Head) 』はアカデミー主題歌賞を受賞した。
