Alors, une petite recherche nous apprend que la chanson a été composée en 1927 par le
trio Ev. E. Lyn, Francis Wheeler et Ted Snyder.
C'est bien-sûr Ev. E. Lyn (gratifiée de "main composer") qui nous intrigue. En fouillant un
peu on s'aperçoit que ce pseudo cache Evelyn Hiller. Certes, mais encore ?
En grattant encore plus, on ne trouve pas grand chose. Ah ben si, tiens, l'épouse de
Joe Hiller (un agent qui travaillait entre autre pour Irving Berlin), s'appelait Evelyn.
Tiens, tiens. Et voilà :
Hiller married Evelyn Silverman of Pittsburgh in 1926. Their acquaintance happened when Miss Silverman
presented her music to Joe for publication. Mrs. Hiller wrote the lyrics for song "Under the Moon" that was
co-written by Ted Synder (a member of the Song Writers Hall of Fame who wrote the classic "Who's Sorry Now").
It was published in 1927 and recorded by in a duet by A Aileen Stanley and Johnny Marvin and by Guy Lumbardo.
Evelyn also wrote "Since I Gave My Heart to You" which was performed live on KDKA radio in 1935.
Yes !
