Walter Anthony Murphy, Jr. (born December 19, 1952) is an American composer, arranger, pianist, musician, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known for the instrumental "A Fifth of Beethoven", a disco adaptation of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony which topped the charts in 1976 and was featured on the ''Saturday Night Fever'' soundtrack. Further classical–disco fusions followed, such as "Flight '76", "Rhapsody in Blue", "Toccata and Funk in 'D' Minor", "Bolero", and "Mostly Mozart", but were not as successful. In a career spanning over four decades, Murphy has written music for numerous films and TV shows, including ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'', ''The Savage Bees'', ''Stingray'', ''Wiseguy'', ''The Commish'', ''Profit'', ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', ''Looney Tunes'', and ''How Murray Saved Christmas''. He has had a long-running partnership with Seth MacFarlane, composing music for his films and TV shows such as ''Family Guy'', ''The Cleveland Show'', ''American Dad!'', and ''Ted''. ==Early life== Murphy was born on December 19, 1952, in New York City, and grew up in Manhattan. At age four, he attended music lessons hosted by Rosa Rio, studying an array of instruments, including the organ and piano.〔 Rio frequently opted for him to star in television advertisements for the Hammond organ.〔 Against the wishes of his father, who was a real estate agent and wished to pass down his business to his son, Murphy enrolled in the Manhattan School of Music in 1970; recalling his experiences with his father, Murphy stated "He wanted me to be a doctor or lawyer—or something you can depend on."〔 There, Murphy studied jazz and classical piano; referring to his studies, he stated "There never was a time when I wasn't studying music."〔 In 1972, he married Laurie Robertson, who worked in the Plastics Industry.〔
