Sidney Clare
Sidney Clare was an influential American comedian, dancer, and composer born on August 15, 1892, in New York City. He began his career on the vaudeville circuit, primarily as a dancer and comic, before venturing into songwriting. Clare achieved early success with the Tin Pan Alley standard "Ma, He's Makin' Eyes at Me," co-written with Con Conrad in 1921. He continued to create hits such as "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain (If I Knew I'd Find You)" and "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone," which became popular among jazz artists.

Clare's career flourished in the film industry, beginning with his first full film score for "Street Girl" in 1929. He relocated to Los Angeles and contributed music to over 50 films, including Shirley Temple's iconic "On the Good Ship Lollipop" from "Bright Eyes." His work in the 1930s included collaborations with notable composers like Richard A. Whiting and Oscar Levant, producing songs for films such as "The Littlest Rebel" and "Music Is Magic."

In 1934, Clare was credited with the earliest usage of the term "rock and roll" in the soundtrack for "Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round." During the early 1940s, he joined fellow songwriters in the revue "Songwriters on Parade," performing along the Eastern seaboard. Clare was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970, recognizing his significant contributions to American music. He passed away on August 29, 1972, in Los Angeles, California.
