The songs of composer Hoagy Carmichael (1899-1981) have had a tremendous impact on the music of the 20th century. His better-known songs include "Stardust", "Georgia on My Mind", "Lazy River", "Lazybones", "The Nearness of You", "Heart and Soul", "Two Sleepy People", and "Skylark". His appearances on film include roles in THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES, TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, TOPPER, and YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN. Lyricist Paul Francis Webster (1907-1984) was a three-time Oscar winner for "Secret Love", "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" and "The Shadow of Your Smile". A total of sixteen of his songs received Academy Award nominations, an achievement unmatched by any other lyricist. His other songs include "Black Coffee", "I Got it Bad (and That Ain't Good)" and "The Twelfth of Never". I had never understood, until recently, why lyricist Paul Francis Webster came up with "Indian Chief" as the third choice of a potential husband. Thanks to Wikipedia, I have finally made the connection between the title of this song and the children's counting game from which it originates: "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief. Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief." It's a game rather like "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe..." and the line comes as a response to the question, "What will my husband be?" The biggest-selling recording of this song featured a vocal by Betty Hutton. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts in late 1945 and remained there for 17 weeks, peaking at number one.. + Informações
