Biography
In spite of the fact, that he only had been on a conservatory for only short time, he was a very successful popular composer, who wrote with lyricist and later producer Arthur Freed not only the songs for MGM musical and non-musical films, e.g. "Broadway Melody" for the movie "The Broadway Melody", "You Are My Lucky Star" and "Broadway Rhythm" for "Broadway Melody of 1936", "Temptation" for "Going Hollywood" and - best remembered - "Singin' in the Rain" from "The Hollywood Revue of 1929", which became a classic in the movie "Singin' in the Rain" in the version of Gene Kelly. He also worked with Richard A. Whiting and Buddy G. DeSylva on the Broadway Musical "Take a Chance."
