Coleman's film scores include "Father Goose", "The Art of Love", "Garbo Talks", "Power", and "Family Business". In addition, he wrote memorable television specials for Shirley MacLaine, "If My Friends Could See Me Now" and "Gypsy in My Soul". Coleman has been the only composer to win consecutive Tony awards for Best Score at the same time that the corresponding musicals won for Best Musical: "City of Angels" and "Will Rogers' Follies". (Although Stephen Sondheim actually won three consecutive Tony Awards for Best Score for "Company", "Follies", and "A Little Night Music", Follies did not win for Best Musical.) Coleman was on the ASCAP Board of Directors for many years and also served as their Vice Chairman Writer.
