Thomas Joseph Wolf Jr. (1925 – 1979) was an American composer and pianist, renowned for his collaboration with lyricist Fran Landesman. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Wolf's musical journey began when he met Landesman while playing piano at the Jefferson Hotel. Their partnership started with the song "This Little Love of Ours" and lasted over a decade, producing several jazz standards, including "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," which has been recorded by iconic artists such as Kurt Elling, Carmen McRae, and Ella Fitzgerald.

Wolf's discography includes albums like "Wolf at Your Door" and "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," both released under Fraternity Records. After relocating to California, he worked as a rehearsal pianist on television shows, including those of Andy Williams and Red Skelton, and contributed to musical specials like the award-winning Fred Astaire show "Evenings."

In the 1960s, Wolf shifted his focus to lyric writing, collaborating with Fred Astaire on "Life Is Beautiful" and with Victor Feldman on "A Face Like Yours." He continued working in television, notably with Donnie and Marie Osmond in Utah, until his passing on January 9, 1979. His contributions to music, particularly in jazz, remain influential.
