THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

HARRY WARREN

”SEPARATE TABLES”

This tune opened the classic film of 1958. Harry was being sidelined to work on songs intended to push movies.

Vic Damone: “Separate Tables”

Like Irving Berlin, Harry Warren continued to write songs through the Sixties and Seventies with no one taking interest in his work. Music had changed, and he couldn’t adapt. Harry had saved his money, so he wanted for nothing, but he languished in obscurity until his death in 1981 at age 88. In addition to his songs, he left behind a collection of short piano pieces and a Catholic mass which has been performed but never recorded. On his tombstone are the opening notes of “You’ll Never Know.”

This is an interview from Nat’s show in the Fifties.
