Burton Lane

À propos de ce compositeur

“Burton Lane (born Levy; February 2, 1912 – January 5, 1997) was an American composer primarily known for his theatre and film scores. His most popular and successful works include the Broadway musicals Finian's Rainbow (1947) and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1965). Born in Manhattan, Lane was a talented performer and composer from childhood. His skill led to friendship with George Gershwin and the Gershwin family; Lane considered George to be his greatest influence. Lane began his career writing popular songs and music for Broadway shows in his teens. The Great Depression sent Lane to Hollywood, where he worked for Paramount Pictures and other studios for more than twenty years.”
