Episode 75
Harry Warren joking called himself “Harry Who?” because of how unknown his name was. But he was the most prolific and successful songwriter of his day, and many American standards came from his fertile mind. He was a man of deep Catholic faith who preferred anonymity, though his songs were — and remain — huge on Broadway and in Hollywood.
