I did not know that Jay Livingston was his older brother.

By the way, Livingston didn't invent the read-along children's album, but he 
certainly made it into a work of art! Tubby The Tuba had the entire text 
printed in the album in 1945 and Musette and/or Varsity had texts included even 
earlier. Texts were also included with Shakespeare sets issued by Columbia and 
Victor prior to 1942.
