Growing up in the 50s in Fort Worth Texas, Edwin Cohen had the unwavering support of his parents when he started seriously writing music while still in his early 20s, in the hope of making it his career. While still only 24 years old, he wrote ‘Mr. Success’, which was highly praised and sung by Frank Sinatra. From there he wrote for other well-known artists, such as Tom Jones, Eric Clapton, and The McGuire Sisters. Now 90, he’s still going strong, and his new single is the gorgeous ‘Alexander’s Messiah, featuring the vocals of Chris Ray. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
