| | De-Bunking Johnny Burke, and Excluded Canadian Troubadour |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | John White's Collection of the Songs of Johnny Burke. |

| | Johnny Mercer was the best of that time but still is a ledgend and is and always will be a standard in music creativity. | | | However, when he found the lyrics were for an old lady with dementia of my acquaintence who loved the song and repeatedly sang it he put together a wonderful gift and sent it to her. | | | Johnny Mercer, along with Jimmy Van Heusan and Johnny Burke, was and is at the absolute pinnacle of the mountain top of song writers in the entire twentieth century. |

| | His technique was to fully memorize the lyric, then piece together a suitable melody while sitting at the piano, improvising. | | | His usual plan is to write a verse and a chorus-and-a-half with a different lyric for the second half-chorus. | | | He has written to a complete melody; to an opening melodic line; to a title, as well as to a finished lyric. |

| | Frank Sinatra |
| | The string section is gone; the brass and reeds punctuate transitions from one section of the song to another, and Sinatra sings mostly behind bass and drums, with riffs supplied by piano and vibes (reminiscent of Red Norvo, whom Sinatra and Riddle both admired). | | | When the lyric refers to "mission bells," the strings execute a slightly dissonant, plucked figure vaguely reminiscent of church bells, but when the lyric returns to Nancy’s "glow," the soaring legato returns. | | | As Sinatra grew older, the name burned brighter and the man grew fainter, until at the end he was a phantom being whisked from place to place in ambulances and black limousines. |

| | It's even harder to come up with lyrics for a melody that is already in existence (as most of these were), especially if it has been written by a composer like Jerome Kern, who reportedly disdained to have a single note changed. | | | After all it's only words." As a writer of both, I find that improvising a tune is a joyful, natural and even enthralling experience compared with the trench warfare of painstakingly constructing an original, useful lyric. | | | Lyricist Marilyn Bergman has written eloquently about "the invisible songwriter," and here a lyric's fame is often disproportionate to the dismal obscurity of the writer. |

| | A Wrinkle In Swingtime CD: Elena Bennett & Fred Barton's Orchestra |
| | The collaboration of Burke on the lyric and Van Heusen on the tune provides one of the era's brilliant numbers, if not one of its better-known, despite its presence on Frank's "Moonlight Sinatra" album. | | | One of the happiest translations from operetta to big band was this exquisite ballad from the most harmonically advanced popular composer of the day, Jerome Kern, and his kid sidekick Oscar Hammerstein (who thirty-five years later wrote about the sound of music in another context). | | | One night, Fred and I got to the lyric "Why can't I let you know the song my heart would sing?" and found ourselves repeating it until we had thoroughly shaken the song, each other, and our audience by the shoulders in hopes of finding the answer. |

| | A City ...Waiting for the Sunrise:
Toronto in Song and Sound |
| | The lyric for the song was written in 1916 by another Torontoman, Gene Lockhart, one-time player for the Toronto Argonauts and later Hollywood star. | | | Many would agree with Toronto writer and broadcaster Bob Mackowycz's assertion (1991): "an important measure of a city's greatness has always been its [published] songs." Music, with or without lyrics, can convey a particular image about a place to a listener. | | | Satirist extraordinaire, White began writing and performing her clever and witty songs for the CBC radio program "Sunday Morning" in 1976, and, except for a brief period between 1980 and 1983, remained a regular and popular part of the program until 1994. |

| | I know it's hard reading a lyric without hearing the haunting music that it's set to, but even so that lyric is just so painfully true. | | | But it's only correct if it's a song that he wrote both music and lyrics to. | | | However, if you open up the question to include songs he only wrote lyrics to, then Clowns would be surpassed by: Tonight, Maria, and Somewhere. |
