⭐ Stardust- Hoagy Carmichael, Lauren Bacall
Wiki, Hoagland Howard Carmichael (Nov. 22, 1899 – Dec. 27, 1981) was an American musician, composer, songwriter, actor, author and lawyer. Carmichael was one of the most successful Tin Pan Alley songwriters of the 1930s and 1940s, and was among the first singer-songwriters in the age of mass media to use new communication technologies such as radio broadcasts, television, microphones, and sound recordings (musical records).
Carmichael composed several hundred songs, including 50 that achieved hit record status.
He is best known for composing 4 of the most-recorded American songs of all time: 👄 "Stardust" (1927), with lyrics by Mitchell Parish, "Georgia on My Mind" (1930), with lyrics by Stuart Gorrell, "The Nearness of You" (1937), with lyrics by Ned Washington, and "Heart and Soul" (1938), with lyrics by Frank Loesser...
