I didn't know Randy was part of a family business...

First the cousins...

-Randy Newman (son of Irving)
-Thomas Newman (son of Alfred)
-David Newman (son of Alfred)

and now their uncles/fathers
-Irving Newman (Hollywood physician & occasionaly songwriter)
-Alfred Newman
-Emil Newman
-Lionel Newman

As for Homerbert's contention that none can compete with Williams, I'd have to disagree. I think most of the ones on my original list can stand with Williams, if none could stand above him.

At some point the idea of "best" becomes rather academic (excepting personal preference, of course). Kinda like Olympic competitors being separated by mere tenths or hundredths of a second. If you can compete on that level, you're a master and 1st, 2nd, or 3rd doesn't make much difference, does it? Or am I out of my mind again?
