Io sono dello stesso paese di cui è nativo Harry Warren, ovvero SALVATORE GUARAGNA. Il paese è Cassano Allo Ionio, Cosenza, Italy. Qui a Cassano ora si sta approfondendo la storia di questo grande musicista, e gli è stato dedicato un teatro in suo onore. Vorrei tanto altr informazioni e video su di lui, dall'america! info@kartcassano.it
Hey what happened to the rest of this?! Don't tell me about copyrights!!!!! These people are dead and I could give a crap about the heirs of relatives of labels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For my money Harry Warren is the greatest composer of popular music of the 20th century. Those amazing melodies just kept coming and coming. Sheer genius.
there's a strong influence in Warren shmaltz music and Warner orchestral arrangement of Forbstein -Klinghofer coming from Clifton Worsley popular "Vals-Boston" s of 1890-1910...
Dubin and Warren paper music is wide available to all piano players ever,78 records too ...there's big books on Warren,Warner musicals ,Busby Berkeley etc on market since 70s..in 80s in VHS and recently almost all principal films from Warner's ,Goldwyn etc in DVD
Born Salvatore Antonio Guaragna in 1893 in Brooklyn, NY, Harry Warren was the first major American songwriter to compose primarily for the cinema, becoming Hollywood's most prolific composer. He wrote more than 800 songs in a career spanning nearly six decades and published over 500 of them; forty-two were #1 hits.
Warren collaborated with some of the twentieth century's greatest lyricists, including Al Dubin, Mack Gordon, Ira Gershwin and Johnny Mercer. Nominated for eleven Academy Awards, Warren received three Oscars:
"Lullaby of Broadway" (1935), w/ Al Dubin for "Gold Diggers of 1935;"
"You'll Never Know" (1943), w/ Mack Gordon for "Hello, Frisco, Hello" and
"On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" (1945), w/ Johnny Mercer for "The Harvey Girls" (Mercer, himself a fine vocalist, made a hit recording of this song with the Pied Pipers for his Capitol Records label).
In 1942 the Gordon-Warren song "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", as performed by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra, became the very first gold record, with sales of 1,200,000.
Can anyone tell me where i can find the Vitaphone"Musical Moment" short that opens with a kettledrum roll and ends with it and titlecard? I saw it years ago on Turner Classic Movies.Thanks! Brainy
This is a treasure, I've watched it many times, I've learned to play it on the piano. Warren and Dubin's music is readily available from librarys etc. still popular.
@abxzt Nothing like a Harry Warren tune on an old Wurlitzer organ. I recommend these models if you ever want a good 1920's & 30's sound- Wurlitzer 4500, 4520,4300 (spinet version), Gulbransen Rialto K, Rialto II, Conn (almost any 400's, 500's, 600's),Hammond tone wheel organs are great to go back to once you have the styles down on the flute,reed,horn,string organs. Now of course no organ is complete without the Leslie tone cabinet.
There are always good deals on Craigslist. Today RialtoK&Les$75
What 'imonthebox' may have meant to say wast that, like Irving Berlin, Harry Warren could not read music, which is quite true.
Indeed, Berlin had a custom-built piano with a lever that mechanically shifted the keyboard from the key of C to F, so that he did not have to transpose.
A surprising array of famous musicians could not read music, which, if anything, made their talent all the more remarkable; Erroll Garner could not read a note, but he remains one of the giants of jazz.
@LazlosPlane Berlin just pimped his music harder...music that he sometimes purchased and put his name on.
Harry Warren had more hits than Berlinor any other songwriter on the pop charts, and it isn't even close.
If you measure success by fame, Berlin wins the fight. However, if quantified by actual results on the carts or Academy awards, then it is Harry Warren without question.

@aldiboronti I TOTALLY agree with you! And folks contributing Harry Warren movie scenes to youtube here did an utterly fantastic job. :)
This is a cutely rendered song. Love the silhouetted dancers "in the shadows" per the song lyrics.

Warren died in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, where he is buried. The plaque bearing his epitaph contains the opening notes of "You'll Never Know".

Harry Warren never read music, he was self taught, he was bigger than Irving Berlin, and that's big, Berlin also did not write music.

Of course Berlin wrote music--or are you saying he didn't do the formal notations; that's true.

Harry Warren was big. Very under rated and under appreciated composer, no doubt.
Berlin was/is WAAAAY bigger.
