Hallelujah: Tributes

The inside sleeve of the album for Something in the Wind, a 1947 musical comedy film with music written by Johnny Green and lyrics by Leo Robin. Johnny inscribed this special message for Leo: “For the original executive Chief-of-Staff of the Sweet Fellows of the World -- with thanks for six of my happiest months. Love - Johnny 1947.” On other occasions, Leo was known as the ‘Vice President’ of the Sweet Fellows Club, an imaginary society invented by composer Harry Warren, of which Ira Gershwin was ‘President.’

Endearing note to Leo Robin from Richard Whiting’s daughter, Margaret, after the evening at the Y. Leo Robin and Richard Whiting wrote many standards including "My Ideal" which became Margaret's theme song. On a personal note card she wrote, "Dearest Leo, How can I ever thank you for one of the loveliest times of my life? I’ll never forget our dinners together, the rehearsals and especially the performances. Don’t know if you saw the enclosed before you left--Miss you already. Can’t wait to see you both again. All my love, Margaret."
