| | De-Bunking Johnny Burke, and Excluded Canadian Troubadour |
| | In all his ballads, as here, Burke wrote original words but no musical accompaniment, relying instead on the well-known melodies of music-hall and stage-Irish songs of the day. | | | His broadsides and songsters, however, often do not specifically acknowledge by name the songs they were "sung to the tune of." This disparity between lyric and melody, in addition to complicating the musicologist's and critic's tasks, stresses the essentially word-of-mouth tribal phenomenon of the Johnny Burke ballad. | | | His influence as a balladeer can be heard in the folk music of Atlantic Canada, notably in the cadences of legendary fiddler Don Messer. |

| | Untitled Document |
| | Burke and Van Heusen were the top house songwriting team for Paramount Pictures during most of the 1940s. | | | Lastly, and maddeningly, throughout the 1950s and 1960s both recorded — prolifically — albums that seldom if ever made mention of orchestral personnel. | | | Just about all we glean from the liner notes for the Burke-VanHeusen is that it was cut in New York in late 1958 and early 1959, and that an ordinary, mortal "singer spends a great deal of time looking for the song, [but] not for Lena," writes Burke, "the song looks for her." Agreed! |
