Gladys Shelley

b. 15 Dec 1911, Lawrence, NY, USA. d. 9 Dec 2003, NEW YORK, NY, USA. While still at senior high school in Lawrence, NY, Shelley started submitting poems to different newspapers. She after that became a dancer and celebrity but by the finish from the 30s got decided to focus on composing song lyrics. Mainly, Shelley had written lyrics using the music via one or another of many collaborators. Among her stated 300 roughly songs ‘How Do He Appear?’ (with Abner Sterling silver) may be the best known and it is a popular of cabaret singers. First documented in 1941, by Joan Merrill, it had been afterwards sung by Connie Francis, Eydie Gorme and Dakota Staton. Using a gender alter, to ‘How Do She Appear?’, the melody was also found by male performers, including Vic Damone and Mel Tormé. Various other songs consist of ‘Pavanne’ (Morton Gould) and ‘There WILL BE No Evening’ (Magic), a melody documented in 1940 by Supplement Jeffries with Duke Ellington’s orchestra. Among few songs that Shelley also had written the music was her jingle for Palisades Enjoyment Park, that was possessed by business owner Irving Rosenthal to whom Shelley was wedded. The music, ‘Arrive On Over’ sung by Steve Clayton, was the recreation area’s theme music from 1965 until it shut in 1971 and it became familiar to an incredible number of radio listeners in the brand new York region. Although she sometimes tried her hands at composing for the theater, like the publication and lyrics for The Duchess Misbehaves, a 1946 Broadway flop that shut after three shows, as well as for films, the storyplot for Idea Young lady (1946), Shelley’s great like was the favorite song. Mainly thereafter, she had written tracks for Tin Skillet Alley publishers as well as for performers on the brand new York cabaret picture.
