Singer and songwriter. Born today. Died in 1991. This was his first big song. He wrote it, gave it to Lieber and Stoller who rewrote it, forgot about it then saw it on a jukebox whilst on his honeymoon and it persuaded him to chance his arm as a professional writer. Wrote or co-wrote Teenager in Love, Save the Last Dance For Me, Sweets For My Sweet, Lonely Avenue and (Marie's the Name) of his Latest Flame among others.
