American pianist, music arranger, conductor and composer.
Born May 9, 1911, Newark, New Jersey, USA.
Died February 22, 2005, New York City, USA.
Married to singer Margaret McCrae (1938-2001, her death).
Simeone's Harry Simeone Chorale group popularized the song "The Little Drummer Boy" in 1958, after it was first recorded in 1951 by the Austrian Trapp Family. Simeone co-wrote the song with Katherine K. Davis & Henry Onorati. The song charted five times between 1958-62 by his group and thirty times since by other artists.
Simeone was arranger and conductor for Fred Waring, beginning in 1939. He studied piano and composition at Juilliard and also played piano, conducted and arranged for CBS.
