Steve Karliski (1940-2007)

Steve Karliski’s craft was his music.  Born in Winnipeg on March 10, 1940, Steve started composing songs - the melody and lyrics - in his teens. In the early sixties Steve arrived in New York with his music and became an instant success.  Steve worked side by side with Carol King, Neil Sedaka, Larry Kolber and Barry Mann.

Steve’s country songwriter credits and #1 songs include; “Yes, Mr. Peters” featured on 60 minutes, “Molly” praised in writing by Senator Bob Dole for making a difference in his life, “For Loving You” recorded by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard, “Christina” recorded by Waylon Jennings, “Yellow Bandana” recorded by Faron Young and “Then Came the Bad Years” also recorded by “Whispering” Bill Anderson. These are just a few of the almost two hundred songs by Karliski, not to mention the dozen plus songs yet to be published, several of which are deemed "money track" quality.

Steve was also a talented singer and recorded several singles and an album titled "Gotta Keep Movin'". Steve’s approach to life was summed up in one of his yet unpublished songs -

“No matter what anyone says, it’s much better to have been someone, than to have been someone who never was.”

Steve lived the last 10 years of his life in Niagara Falls, Ontario - continuing to write songs right up to his death in October, 2007.
