Jay Livingston
Jay Livingston, born Jacob Harold Levison on March 28, 1915, in McDonald, Pennsylvania, was a renowned American composer best known for his collaborations with lyricist Ray Evans. Together, they formed one of the most successful songwriting duos in Hollywood history. Livingston studied piano in Pittsburgh and attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he met Evans. They began their partnership by forming a dance band and writing songs in the late 1930s.

Their breakthrough came with the song "To Each His Own" in 1946, which topped the Billboard charts and solidified their reputation. They went on to win three Academy Awards for Best Song with hits like "Buttons and Bows," "Mona Lisa," and "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)." Livingston and Evans also wrote iconic TV themes for shows such as Bonanza and Mister Ed, and the beloved Christmas song "Silver Bells."

Livingston's career spanned several decades, during which he and Evans contributed significantly to film and television music. They were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1995, and Livingston was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1977. He passed away on October 17, 2001, in Los Angeles, leaving behind a legacy of timeless music.
