Arthur Terence Galt MacDermot (born December 18, 1928) is a Canadian-American composer, pianist and writer of musical theatre.
 He won a Grammy Award for the song "African Waltz" in 1960.
 His most successful musicals have been "Hair" (1967; its cast album also won a Grammy) and "Two Gentlemen of Verona" (1971).
 MacDermot has also written music for film soundtracks, jazz and funk albums, and classical music, and his music has been sampled in hit hip-hop songs and albums.
 He is best known for his work on "Hair", and in particular three of the songs from the show; "Aquarius", "Let the Sunshine In", and "Good Morning Starshine", all three of which were number one hits in 1969.
"Easy to Be Hard" is a song from the rock musical "Hair".
 It was written by Galt MacDermot, James Rado, and Gerome Ragni, who put the musical together in the mid-1960s.
 The original recording of the musical featuring the song was released in May 1968 with the song being sung by Lynn Kellogg, who performed the role of Sheila on stage in the musical.
 The song was first covered by American band Three Dog Night on their 1969 album "Suitable for Framing", with the lead vocal part sung by Chuck Negron, and was produced by Gabriel Mekler.

A rock musical is a musical theatre work with rock music.
 The genre of rock musical may overlap somewhat with album musicals, concept albums and song cycles, as they sometimes tell a story through the rock music, and some album musicals and concept albums become rock musicals.
 Notable examples of rock musicals include "Next to Normal", "Spring Awakening", "Rent", "Grease", and "Hair".
 The Who's "Tommy" and other rock operas are sometimes presented on stage as a musical.

 A product of the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the late 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement.
 The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy.
 The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale.
