Some names of the great songwriters of the past, composers, lyricists or those who are both, are remembered and revered to this day — Porter, Gershwins, Berlin, Mercer (contd p 94). Others, just as distinguished, have left names known only to a few with the specialist interest. I will instance Harry Warren [see below] - any other notable instances?
I have just looked up composer Harry Warren in my 0xford Guide to Popular Music. Just a selection:—
words by Al Dubin: 42nd St; We're in the Money; Keep young & beautiful; I'll string along with you; I only have eyes for you; Lullaby of Broadway; September in the rain;
W Johnny Mercer: Jeepers creepers; You must have been a beautiful baby; Jezebel; Acheson Topeka & Santa Fe.
w Mack Gordon: Down Argentina Way; I-yi-yi-yi like you very much; Chattanooga choo-choo; Gal in Kalamazoo; I like to be loved by you; You'll never know;
w Jack Brooks: That's amore
