Harold Arlen
Harold Arlen (1905–1986) was an American composer of popular song whose work sits at the heart of the Great American Songbook. He wrote the complete score for the film The Wizard of Oz, including Over the Rainbow.
His catalogue runs to hundreds of songs, many of them lasting standards: Get Happy, Stormy Weather, It's Only a Paper Moon, I've Got the World on a String and Last Night When We Were Young among them.
Written for stage, nightclub and Hollywood, the songs remain fixtures of jazz and popular performance.
