Born in the Ukraine, Goodman immigrated to the United States in his youth. He was a conductor, musical director, songwriter, pianist and singer. Goodman was the conductor for many Broadway musicals. he later was tapped to supervise and conduct the music for the "Colgate Comedy Hour", a variety show on NBC in the early years of television.
As a conductor for RCA Victor, he was active in the 1940s and made a large number of recordings. These were mostly issued as 78-rpm sets, although these were largely reissued as 45-rpm sets after the introduction of the 45-rpm record. Goodman also recorded some sides that were released as singles.
