Thomas Joseph Wolf Jr. (1925 – 1979) was an American composer and piano player.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Wolf met Fran Landesman while playing piano at the Jefferson Hotel there.
After moving to California, he was a rehearsal pianist, working on the Andy Williams and Red Skelton television shows, and numerous musical specials, most memorably the award-winning Fred Astaire show "Evenings."
Several of Wolf's songs, including "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most", have become jazz Jazz standards, and have been recorded by artists such as Kurt Elling, Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, and Ella Fitzgerald.
In the 1960s Wolf switched to lyric writing, collaborating with Fred Astaire on "Life Is Beautiful" and Victor Feldman on "A Face Like Yours".
