Broadway composer. They made a movie from his best known work. Not much from him after that.

OK. Lionel Bart.

But please explain the first clue for me.

PS: I only got it after Googling "Simpson composed various music" / "Bart composed various music", so I didn't really "Rebus" it.

Lionel, a maker of toy electric trains. Apparently still in business. Lots of info on the ‘net.

You will be gobsmacked when you find out how close you are. With the hint I might have decided to give you
😁, you’d have the answer. But that wouldn’t be any fun, now, would it? Stay tuned!

Okay! First hint. Phonetically, you are close to the right pronunciation of the name. But this rebus is about a person, not a building, or a place. Oh, and North American person, by the way.

Goodoh.

That narrows it down for an Aussie. Only one of 579,000,000.

Now let me think on it.

This might be a dead giveaway away, but give it a try.

Well, maybe I should stick to more main stream personages. But those who follow this forum continue to astonish me with their perspicacity! Roone Arledge is correct! Thirty years ago, when he was a prominent television personality, this one might have been easier. This star will be shared between @JimInOz and @M’Bob.
