Forty-eight lyricists, from Harold Adamson to Hy Zaret, are listed in “The Great Lyricists of Hollywood’s Golden Age,” spanning the period from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s.
Clockwise from top left: Irving Berlin, Yip Harburg, Oscar Hammerstein II, Sammy Cahn, Ned Washington, Johnny Burke, Al Dubin (with Harry Warren at the piano), Dorothy Fields, Johnny Mercer.
The table consists of 203 songs, classified based on their Lyricist, with the song’s composer and the film’s title also included. A mirror-image post in which the same 203 songs are categorized based on the Composer is also fun to read. Check it out at: The Great Composers of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Irving Berlin tops the list with 23 songs, followed by Johnny Mercer with 19, Sammy Cahn with 16, Ira Gershwin with 14, Johnny Burke and Al Dubin with 10, Yip Harburg with nine, and Mack David with seven.
Four women stand out in what was once a predominantly male profession.
Dorothy Fields has seven songs listed. She was the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1936 for her lyrics to “The Way You Look Tonight.” It would be an incredible 32 years before another woman won in this category: Marilyn Bergman for her lyrics to “The Windmills of Your Mind” in 1968.
Doris Fisher and co-writer Allan Roberts wrote two of the most enduring songs of the forties: “Put the Blame on Mame” and Amado Mio.” Both songs are from “Gilda,” and both are “sung” by Rita Hayworth, whose voice is dubbed by Anita Ellis. With choreography by Jack Cole.
Sylvia Fine, who was married to Danny Kaye from 1940 until his death in 1987, was nominated for her lyrics for “The Moon is Blue” in 1953 (music by Herschel Burke Gilbert) and for her music and lyrics for “The Five Pennies” in 1959, making her the first woman to achieve this landmark.
Dory Previn was nominated for her lyrics three times; “Faraway Part of Town” from “Pepe” (1960: music by her then-husband Andre Previn), “Second Chance” from “Two for the Seasaw” (1962: music by Previn) and “Come Sunday Morning” from “The Sterile Cuckoo” (1969: music by Fred Karlin).
The first woman to win an Oscar for composing music for the Best Song of the Year is Barbara Streisand for “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star is Born),” with lyrics by Paul Williams, in 1976. The first woman to win Best Song, having written both the music and the lyrics, is Carly Simon for “Let the River Run” from “Working Girl” in 1988.
JEWISH vs. NON-JEWISH
34 of the 48 lyricists are Jewish (71%), while the other 14 (29%) are not Jewish.
