"We'll all go riding on a rainbow".
Written in 1933 by Henry MacGregor Woods (1896 - 1970) who was a Tin Pan Alley songwriter and pianist. Woods is sometimes credited as Harry Woods.
Born in North Chelmsford Massachusetts his mother, a concert singer, encouraged him to play the piano in spite of being born with no fingers on his left hand!
"Five foot two, eyes of blue".
Written in 1925 by Ray Henderson (1896 – 1970) with words by Samuel Lewis and Joseph Young.
Born Raymond Brost in Buffalo New York, Henderson moved to New York City and became a popular composer in Tin Pan Alley.
"Somebody stole my gal".
Words & Music written in 1918 by Leo Wood. This song is probably best remembered (by some of us anyway) as the signature tune of "The Billy Cotton Bandshow"!
