Gus Kahn

Gus Kahn was a lyricist who wrote for the lyrics for many American standards, including "It Had to Be You," "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," "Makin' Whoopee," "Carolina in the Morning," "Dream a Little Dream of Me,""My Buddy," and "Pretty Baby." His many collaborators included composers George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Sigmund Romberg, Walter Donaldson, Harry Warren, Richard Whiting, Al Jolson, Buddy DeSylva, and his own wife, Grace LeBoy.

He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970, almost 30 years after his death.

The movie "I'll See You in My Dreams" stars Danny Thomas as Gus Kahn and Doris Day as Grace LeBoy.
