- Registered 364 compositions with ASCAP, then moved to BMI where he logged a further 508 titles.
- Rugolo was intrigued by the music of Schoenberg, Bartók, Stravinsky, Samuel Barber and Edgard Varèse, and during a summer season at Mills he received tuition from Bartók himself. Traces of these influences would later give a distinctive flavour even to his commercial work.
- While Rugolo continued to work occasionally with Stan Kenton in the 1950s, he spent more time creating arrangements for pop and jazz vocalists, most extensively with former Kenton singer June Christy on such albums as Something Cool, The Misty Miss Christy, Fair and Warmer!, Gone for the Day, and The Song Is June.
- After the war, Rugolo worked for Stan Kenton. He and songwriter Joe Greene collaborated on songs that made Kenton's band one of America's most popular.
- He spent World War II playing with altoist Paul Desmond in an Army band.
- [on David Janssen] If he likes you, there's nothing he wouldn't do. And he doesn't forget you.
