Charles Tobias
Charles Tobias (August 15, 1898 – July 7, 1970) was an influential American songwriter born in New York City and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts. He was part of a musical family, with his brothers Harry and Henry Tobias also being songwriters. Tobias began his career in vaudeville and later established his own music publishing firm in 1923, becoming a notable figure in Tin Pan Alley. Known as "the boy who writes the songs you sing," Tobias contributed to numerous popular songs such as "Merrily We Roll Along," "Rose O'Day," "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer," and "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (with Anyone Else but Me)." He frequently collaborated with Al Sherman and Howard Johnson, among others.

In the 1930s, Tobias was part of the "Songwriters on Parade" revue, which toured the Eastern seaboard. He co-wrote theme songs for the Merrie Melodies cartoons and penned the patriotic song "We Did It Before and We Can Do It Again" after Pearl Harbor. His contributions to musicals spanned from 1929 to 1960, including works for "Manhattan Melodrama" and "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady." Tobias was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970, shortly before his death from a liver ailment in Manhasset, Long Island.
