Bobby Worth
Bobby Worth (September 25, 1912 – July 17, 2002) was an American songwriter renowned for his contributions to the music industry, particularly in the mid-20th century. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Worth was a child prodigy who began performing in classical concerts at the tender age of ten. During his teenage years, he showcased his talents in Gus Edwards' vaudeville acts. In 1940, at the age of 28, Worth relocated to Hollywood, California, where he teamed up with songwriter Stanley Cowan in 1941 to write for movie studios.

Worth's songwriting prowess led to his compositions being recorded by legendary artists such as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald. Among his most celebrated works are the songs "Do I Worry?", "'Til Reveille", "Tonight We Love", and "Don't You Know?". In collaboration with bandleader Freddy Martin and Ray Austin, he composed "Tonight We Love", and he co-composed the popular World War II tune "(Lights Out) 'Til Reveille" in 1941.

Bobby Worth's contributions extended to the film industry, where his songs featured in numerous films, including "Sunset Trail" (1939), "Pardon My Sarong" (1942), "Honeymoon Lodge" (1943), "In Society" (1944), "Blue Bayou" (1946), "Make Mine Music" (1946), "Fun and Fancy Free" (1947), "Melody Time" (1948), and "An Old-Fashioned Girl" (1949). Additionally, Worth appeared as an actor in the 1945 film "Penthouse Rhythm".
