You mention Lerner and Loewe. They did hte score for Gigi. Loewe ultimately retired and went back to Germany. Lerner kept writing with other composers, such as Burton Lane, with whom he wrote On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

Eventually, a producer decided to do a stage version of Gigi and wanted a new song. But again, Loewe was retired.

Lerner got on a plane, went to Germany, went to Loewe's house, told him tehy needed a new song.

"I'm retired," said Loewe. But Lerner wouldn't leave until they wrote the song. Then Loewe went back into retirement.
