Thomas Lee Bahler (also spelled Bähler; /ˈbeɪlər/; born June 1, 1943) is an American singer, composer, songwriter, arranger, producer and author. Bahler is most known for his song "She's Out of My Life", which was recorded by Michael Jackson; the song was originally written for Frank Sinatra, who never recorded it.[1] He is the younger brother of the singer, arranger, conductor and composer John Bahler.

In Bahler's early career, he worked with Jan Berry[2] (of Jan and Dean). Later, he and his brother John were vocalists in the Ron Hicklin Singers.[3] Together with The Wrecking Crew, the Bahler brothers have sung, produced and arranged hundreds of worldwide hits. They were the featured background voices on The Partridge Family recordings in the 1970s.[4]
