Before going to Hollywood, Previn had arranged music for over 100 Broadway productions. Previn was born in Brooklyn.

He graduated from Brooklyn High School and obtained a bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1910. He obtained a master's degree from New York College of Music. From 1936 to 1944, Previn was musical director at Universal, overseeing everything from horror pictures to Arabian Nights fantasies. He began working at other studios after 1944 and retired in 1953. He died in Los Angeles, aged 85. He won an Oscar for Best Score in 1937 for One Hundred Men and a Girl. He was nominated for six other Oscars between 1938 and 1944.
