Thread Name: Forgotten writers of well-remembered songs
Subject: RE: forgottens
Oh, yes: I didn't say it was the SONGS that were forgotten. That's the point: it's the guys who wrote them that are forgotten. Not Mercer or Gershwins both or Porter or Kern or Berlin. But Warren, Dubin, Harburg [where we came in on other thread] - who could put a name to the writer of We're In The Money [I could - it was Warren & Dubin - but how many others could?] — why aren't they as well remembered?. It is, I reiterate, the writers who are forgotten, tho The Melody Lingers On (& who wrote that one, then, eh?).
