In addition to his musical compositions, Leroux said, her husband was a Navy veteran in the Korean War and later in life spent time as a painting contractorI hate to bring this up as I love the songs mentioned, but dying at 68 now puts him at 12 in 1950 thus a little young to be a Navy vet in Korea.

Remember some obscure film from the 60's where the Russians were trying to get the formula for Coca-Cola from a Coke executive they had kidnapped.
Their torture to get him to crack and give up the formula was playing this song at 78 RPM over and over and over and over..

I think Mr. Vance also wrote "Playground in My Mind," a Clint Holmes hit a lifetime ago.

That was more popular than "Catch a Falling Star"? I guess it is the novelty factor, the bikini song has always been an advertising favorite.

I did see on another forum where someone posted that according to the ASCAP, Paul vance was on Nov. 4, 1929, which would make him 76, not 68. I have searched @ ASCAP but was UN-able to confirm this for myself.

Reminds me of a story I saw a few days ago...
Seems the guy who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died recently.
It was a sad scene at the funeral house as they placed his body in the casket.
They put his left foot in...he'd put his left foot out...and...
Well, you know the rest!
