Biography

American songwriter and producer from New York.
Born April 2, 1934. Died September 3, 2022.
Stallman charted as a songwriter thirty times in the U.S. between 1956-1982. His first hit came with "Treasure of Love" by Clyde McPhatter in 1956--it hit #15 overall and #1 on the R&B chart. At the time, Stallman was a 22-year-old cafeteria worker at the Manhattan Beach Air Force Station Exchange in New York. In 1956, he had no plans to leave his job. But soon enough, becoming a professional songwriter took over as artists such as Rosemary Clooney and Dion & the Belmonts recorded his songs. A new hit song came the next year with "Round and Round" by Perry Como, which hit #1 overall. His next biggest hit came with "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" by Deniece Williams in 1982--it was a crossover hit, hitting #10 overall, # 6 adult contemporary, and #1 R&B.
