Nick Acquaviva(néNicholas Paul Acquaviva; 27 May 1927 – 2 November 2003),[a] was an American composer, pianist and band leader.
Career
Acquaviva was born in
Beacon, New York,[1][2] where his father Mike Acquaviva ran a barber shop on Main Street for many years.[3] Like his elder brother
Tony Acquaviva, he attended
Juilliard and became a professional musician.[3]
The two brothers are often confused, sometimes even conflating them. Adding to the confusion, is the fact that Tony was married to singer
Joni James, for whom Nick wrote several songs, including the hit "
My Love, My Love".
