Fred E. Ahlert
Frederick Emil Ahlert, born on September 19, 1892, in New York City, was an influential American composer and songwriter. Despite earning a degree from Fordham Law School, Ahlert chose a career in music, initially working as an arranger for Irving Aaronson and His Commanders and later for Fred Waring. He had his first hit song in 1920 and founded his own publishing company in 1928. Ahlert's compositions have been recorded by iconic artists such as Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra. His frequent collaborator was lyricist Roy Turk, though he also worked with others like Joe Young and Edgar Leslie. Some of his well-known songs include "I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)," "I'll Get By (as Long as I Have You)," and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." Ahlert was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. He lived his entire life in New York City, where he died on October 20, 1953. Ahlert's legacy continues through his music and his family, including his son Frederick Emil Ahlert, Jr., who continued in the music publishing business.
