Harold Arlen was born on February 15, 1905.
You may not recognize his name but you probably recognize some hit tunes he composed:
"Get Happy" (1930)
"Over the Rainbow" ( 1939) - Music by Harold Arlen, Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg;
"It's Only A Paper Moon" (1933); and "That Old Black Magic" (1942); "Stormy Weather" (1943); "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive" (1944) - Music by Harold Arlen, Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Among his film scores are The Wizard of Oz (1939) and A Star is Born (1954).
After his death in New York City on April 23, 1986, Irving Berlin summed up the life of this brilliant composer at an ASCAP tribute, saying:
"He wasn't as well known as some of us, but he was a better songwriter than most of us and he will be missed by all of us."
Arlen's music remains fresh and continues to be performed throughout the world.
