Biography
Paul Severson (August 18, 1928 – May 20, 2007 ) was an American music arranger and composer who wrote some of the most recognizable commercial music of our time. While he may be best known for the Doublemint gum jingle and compositions for Marlboro, Ford, McDonald's, Kellogg's, KFC & Chicken of the Sea, his jazz work in "The Cry of Jazz" is preserved in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry and his Hal Leonard arrangements of Dixieland titles are played by people worldwide. During his long career he received 15 Clio Awards. Severson has been called "one of the most famous arrangers/composers you've never heard of".
