American composer, singer, author, bassist, arranger, & lofty comic spokesman for The Limeliters. Born October 10, 1923 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Died July 11, 1996 (age of 72) in Occidental, California, USA. Educated at the University of California (Ph.D. in Musicology). He was considered one of the so-called "new comedy" performers such as Mort Sahl, Nichols and May, and Lenny Bruce: a new generation of unabashed intellectuals. Lou's special trademark on stage was a delightful burlesquing of the university pedant, the sort of teacher who knocks himself out over the jokes in Chaucer while his restless and puzzled class has nothing on its collective mind that happened earlier than last night's date. "Many of the things I have been enthusiastic about," agreed Gottlieb, "mean absolutely nothing to most people."
