lyrics you make me feel so young

Mack Gordon
Born Morris Gitler in Poland, he composed songs mainly for movies during the 30s and 40s. Gordon grew up in Brooklyn. He started writing songs in the late 20s. He began a collaboration with composer Harry Revel in 1931 which lasted until 1939. In 1940, Gordon teamed with Harry Warren, and they wrote some of America's most memorable popular songs for films that featured some of Hollywood's most popular stars, including Alice Faye, John Payne, Carmen Miranda, Betty Grable, Don Ameche, the Nicholas Brothers and many more. In 1941-2, Gordon and Warren contributed perhaps their best known songs to SUN VALLEY SERENADE and ORCHESTRA WIVES, starring the enormously popular Glenn Miller and His Orchestra. Songs for these films included "I Know Why," "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "It Happened in Sun Valley," "The Kiss Polka," "At Last," and "I've Got a Girl in Kalamazoo". Miller's million-selling record of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" was the first to be awarded a gold disc. Gordon and Warren continued working throughout the 40s, with films such as ICELAND ("There Will Never Be Another You"), SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY ("My Heart Tells Me" and "The Wishing Waltz"), HELLO, FRISCO, HELLO, and SUMMER STOCK with Judy Garland. Mack Gordon found the time to collaborate with several other composers on songs such as "Mamselle," "Time Alone Will Tell," "I Can't Begin To Tell You," "Somewhere in the Night," and "You Make Me Feel So Young" (with Joseph Myrow). Gordon's last film score, with Myrow, was for BUNDLE OF JOY, starring Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, in 1956. He died three years later, in March of 1959. His other collaborators included Ray Henderson, Jimmy Van Heusen, James V. Monaco, Max Rich, Ted Snyder, and George West.
