Don George
Don R. George (August 27, 1909 – 1987) was an American lyricist renowned for his contributions to popular music. Among his well-known works are the songs "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "I Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues" (1937), "I'm Beginning to See the Light" (1944), and "Everything but You" (1945). George was a close personal friend and occasional collaborator of the legendary jazz composer Duke Ellington, working with him from 1943 until Ellington's death in 1974. Their partnership produced many of George's most celebrated songs. In addition to his songwriting, George authored a biography of Ellington titled "Sweet Man: The Real Duke Ellington," published in 1981.
