During her lifetime, Previn released six acclaimed albums of original songs, including ON MY WAY TO WHERE, MARY C. BROWN AND THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN, MYTHICAL KINGS AND IGUANAS and REFLECTIONS IN A MUD PUDDLE. She was the lyricist of several Oscar nominated songs, including “You’re Gonna Hear From Me” and “Come Saturday Morning”. After a successful period in Hollywood in the 1960s, collaborating with her then-husband Andre Previn on numerous popular songs for film - including “Faraway Part of Town” and “Theme from Valley of the Dolls,” Ms. Previn rose to prominence in the 1970s, writing and performing a remarkable collection of powerful, witty and haunting songs chronicling her own often harrowing autobiographical experiences, with extraordinary honesty, passion, humor and insight. Ms. Previn also wrote several works for the stage, including a musical version of her acclaimed album MARY C. BROWN AND THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN and several autobiographical works of nonfiction including BOG TROTTER and MIDNIGHT BABY. Ms. Previn passed away in 2012 at the age of 86.

“Dory Previn’s lyrics are first-rate poems, which is a rarity. Dory Previn is a poet and that is rarer still.” MIKNICHOLSE “Dory Previn defines the word ‘extraordinary’. She has lived through more in this lifetime than many of us can hope to live in several. And she has put it all down on paper.” Tdo heo re S. Chapin, intro to ‘The Dory Previn Songbook’ Photos courtesy of Joby Baker.

“One of the most articulate, perceptive and sensitive of modern songwriters, she goes deep beneath the surfaces of the relationships between people… Dory Previn’s songs are unlike those of anyone in the music business.” -o hR bert Nas , ‘Record World’ Photos courtesy of Joby Baker.

“She is an extraordinary songwriter, one distinguished by her intelligence and candor. She is a superior artist.” Caho s B x Magazine
