And who was that Jule Styne fellow? Here is what AMG has to say:
Diverted from a no-doubt promising career as a concert pianist due to
undersized hands, Jule Styne instead became a songwriter and with
Sammy Cahn wrote several hits during the 1940s, including "I'll Walk
Alone," "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" and "I Fall in Love
Too Easily." His second career came on Broadway as a showmaker, with
credits such as Gypsy, Funny Girl, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Bells
Are Ringing.
Born in London in 1905, Julius K. Stein had emigrated to Chicago by
1912, and appeared as a featured soloist with the symphony by his
early teens. After being rejected from classical performance because
of the size of his hands, Styne began writing songs as consolation,
and attended Chicago Musical College while organizing several jazz
bands during the 1930s. He worked as a vocal coach in New York for
several years, then traveled to Hollywood in 1937 to perform a
similar function, but soon diversified into composing arrangements
for background music. His first major composition, written with
Frederick Loewe, was "I Don't Want to Walk Without You," taken from
1942's Sweater Girl and later recorded by Bing Crosby and the Harry
James Orchestra. He was introduced to Sammy Cahn by a movie producer,
and the pair's relationship soon began to gel.
Writing film and album songs for Frank Sinatra ù who had gotten to
know Cahn during his tenure in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra ù during
the mid-'40s, Styne and Cahn became one of the most successful teams
in the business, as a variety of stars gained the upper reaches of
the Hit Parade with such hits as "I've Heard That Song Before" (Harry
James), "I'll Walk Alone" (Doris Day), "Saturday Night (Is the
Loneliest Night of the Week)" (Sinatra, Sammy Kaye, Frankie Carle),
"It's Been a Long, Long Time" (Bing Crosby, Harry James, Charlie
Spivak), "Things We Did Last Summer" (Sinatra), "Five Minutes More"
(Sinatra, Tex Beneke, the Three Suns, Bob Crosby) and "Let It Snow!
Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" (Vaughn Monroe, Woody Herman, Connee
Boswell, Bob Crosby). As well, Cahn and Styne wrote scores for
several movies, plus the 1947 Broadway musical High Button Shoes.
Though successful, High Button Shoes was Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn's
last collaboration for over five years. While Cahn journeyed to
Hollywood, writing songs for Mario Lanza and Doris Day, Styne stayed
on Broadway and wrote Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with lyricist Leo
Robin. The 1949 production became a large success, featuring Carol
Channing in the song that became a staple of her act, "Diamonds Are a
Girl's Best Friend." An ongoing collaboration with Betty Comden and
Adolph Green began with Two on the Aisle in 1951 and Bells Are
Ringing six years later. One of his most celebrated works, 1959's
Gypsy, was a collaboration with Stephen Sondheim, and brought to the
stage "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Together, Wherever We Go" and
the striptease anthem "Let Me Entertain You."
Though Styne's subsequent shows of the early '60s ù Do Re Mi, Subways
Are for Sleeping, Fade In-Fade Out ù couldn't match Gypsy in
popularity, each added at least one song to the popular repertoire.
In 1964, Styne hit upon his greatest production, working with
lyricist Bob Merrill on a show based on the life of Fanny Brice.
Producer Ray Stark ù the son-in-law of Brice herself ù had searched
for ten years to find someone to do justice to Brice's incredible
legend, and once he found it in Barbra Streisand, Funny Girl became a
hit. Styne and Merrill popularized "People," "I'm the Greatest Star,"
and "Don't Rain on My Parade." (The original Fanny Brice favorite "My
Man" was included only on the film adaptation.)
Styne resumed working with Comden and Green with 1967's Hallelujah,
Baby!, a difficult attempt to comment upon the history of
African-American involvement in show business. After the moderate
failures Darling of the Day and Buried Alive, Styne once more began
working with old friend Sammy Cahn. Their 1970 production Look to the
Lilies was a complete failure, though Styne resumed his stride two
years later with Sugar (an adaptation of the 1959 film favorite Some
Like It Hot) and Lorelei (more a revival of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
than a new production). He spent time during the 1980s teaching at
New York University.
