Biography
Lyricist Edward Heyman is most remembered for his song hits of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Chicago on March 14, 1907, Heyman grew up there as well. He went on to study at the University of Michigan and wrote for musicals while he was there. Heyman's first big hit came in 1930, with Body and Soul, a song he co-wrote with two other lyricists and composer Johnny Green. Heyman penned songs for stage and film; wrote for New York's Radio City Music Hall; and, during his WWII military service, wrote the production +At Your Service. From the mid-'50s through 1961, he produced shows for an English-speaking theater group in Mexico City called the Players. Over the years, Heyman collaborated with composers, including Green, Vincent Youmans, Victor Young, Nacio Herb Brown, Morton Gould, and many more. Some of his best-loved songs include: Out of Nowhere (1931), Rain, Rain, Go Away (1932), I Cover the Waterfront, I Wanna Be Loved (1933), Blame It on My Youth, Easy Come, Easy Go (1934), They Say (1938), Strange Love (1946), and When I Fall in Love (1952). ~ Joslyn Layne, Rovi
