Gene de Paul
Gene Vincent de Paul (June 17, 1919 – February 27, 1988) was an American pianist, composer, and songwriter. Born in New York City, he served in the United States Army during World War II. He was married to Billye Louise Files from Jack County, Texas. De Paul joined the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) in 1941 and composed music for numerous motion pictures. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music, Original Song in 1942 for "Pig Foot Pete," although the song was ineligible for the award.

De Paul collaborated with notable figures such as Johnny Mercer, Don Raye, Carolyn Leigh, and Charles Rinker at Universal Studios, Walt Disney Studios, and other Hollywood companies. His work with Disney included music for "Alice in Wonderland," "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and "The Headless Horseman." He composed the 1953 hit "Teach Me Tonight" and was a composer for the 1954 musical film "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." On Broadway, he worked on "Li'l Abner" in 1956 with Johnny Mercer.

Gene de Paul was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985. He passed away in Northridge, California, at the age of 68 and was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Hollywood Hills.
