Winston Sharples (1909-1978) Was one of the hardest working composers in show business! In a career than spanned about 35 years, he had scored close to 800 shorts. Among the cartoons he scored were, Betty Boop, Popeye, Little Audrey, heck, most of the stuff that came out of Famous Studios/HarveyToons from the '30s until the '60s. He also did some of the music in Gigantor, Beany & Cecil, Top Cat, Beetle Baily and Friends and Go-Go Gophers.
