Charles Frederick Wolcott (September 29, 1906 in Flint, United States – January 26, 1987 in Haifa, Israel) was an American music composer who served as a member of the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing body of the Baháʼí Faith, between 1963 and 1987.
Wolcott then went to radio, arranging for Al Jolson, George Burns and Gracie Allen and Rudy Vallee.
[citation needed] He moved to Hollywood sometime between 1935 and 1937 and soon began working at Walt Disney Studios writing music for cartoon shorts, then orchestrating feature films such as Pinocchio, and Bambi.
While there, he was credited with introducing rock-and-roll to the motion picture screen, prevailing on the producer of Blackboard Jungle to incorporate Bill Haley's recording of “Rock Around the Clock” into the 1955 film that Wolcott also scored.
[4] Wolcott, who Green called “a man of great spiritual proportions,” left Hollywood altogether in 1960 to devote full time to the U.S. Baha’i Assembly, which had elected him national secretary.
