ABOUT
Ferrante & Teicher were a highly acclaimed and veteran piano duo consisting of Arthur Ferrante (September 7, 1921 - September 19, 2009) and Louis Teicher (August 24, 1924 - August 3, 2008) with a signature ornate, virtuosic style who became famous during the 1960s. They are best known for their easy listening hit renditions of such movie soundtrack classics as "Theme From The Apartment" (1960), "Exodus" (1960), "Love Theme From One Eyed Jacks" (1961), "Tonight" (1961), and "Midnight Cowboy" (1969).
Ferrante and Teicher met as children in 1930 while studying at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. They began performing together while still in school and joined the Juilliard faculty after graduating. They launched a full-time concert career in 1947 playing nightclubs before moving up to perform classical music with orchestral backing. Ferrante and Teicher retired from performing in 1989, occasionally playing together at a local piano store near their respective homes on the west coast of Florida. Over the years, they recorded dozens of albums, many of which made the Billboard 200.
