Bud Green
Bud Green, born Moses David Green on November 19, 1897, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was a distinguished American lyricist known for his contributions to Broadway musicals and show tunes. Immigrating to the United States as an infant, Green grew up in Harlem, New York City. He was the eldest of seven siblings and left school early to support his family by selling newspapers. This early exposure to the bustling streets of New York inspired him to pursue a career in songwriting.

Green's career began with writing material for vaudeville shows and working as a staff writer for music publishers. He gained prominence in the 1920s with hits like "Alabamy Bound" and "That's My Weakness Now," the latter becoming synonymous with the flapper era and inspiring the Betty Boop cartoons. Throughout his career, Green collaborated with numerous artists and songwriters, including Les Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, and Harry Warren.

Some of his notable compositions include "Sentimental Journey," "Once in a While," and "Flat Foot Floogie." Green's work extended to Hollywood musicals, contributing to films like "Syncopation" and "Baby Take a Bow." In recognition of his impact on music, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.

Green married Nan Hinken, a former Ziegfeld Follies performer, and they had two sons. He spent his later years in Yonkers, New York, where he passed away on January 2, 1981, at the age of 83. His legacy endures through the timeless songs that continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
