More informations about the composer:

Guy Wood, composer: born Manchester, Lancashire 24 July 1912: married (two sons, one daughter); died East Hampton, New York 23 February 2001.

"Shoo-fly pie and apple pan dowdy / Makes your eyes light up, / Your tummy say 'Howdy!' " Those were the opening words of one of the silliest song hits of the 1940s - particularly silly as shoo-fly pie is a Pennsylvanian Dutch dessert, while apple pan dowdy is a New England dish. The song's composer was the Manchester-born Guy Wood.

After playing saxophone in various English dance bands, he emigrated to America in 1931, aged 19. For seven years he worked in the Foreign Production departments of Columbia and Paramount Pictures, and in 1939 formed a band which played for three years at the Arcadia Ballroom in New York. During this period, Wood began writing songs with various lyricists. A minor success was "An Old Curiosity Shop" (1939), recorded by the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Gene Krupa and Lawrence Welk. Far more remunerative was "Music of Love" (1942), the theme of the long-running radio series The Bell Telephone Hour.

Wood had become an American Citizen in 1935, and served with the US Air Force during the Second World War.

In 1944 the Mills Brothers made a hit recording of Wood's "Till Then" (revived in 1954 with a Top Ten record by the Hilltoppers). In 1945 came "Shoo-fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" (words by Sammy Gallop), which gave the Stan Kenton band a million-seller.

Other Guy Wood songs were popularised by Sarah Vaughan, Nat "King" Cole, Frankie Laine, Connie Francis, Tony Bennett and by Frank Sinatra, who recorded both "My One and Only Love" (1953) and "French Foreign Legion" (1959).
