Neil Moret, born Charles N. Daniels on April 12, 1878, in Leavenworth, Kansas, was a prominent American composer and lyricist. He was known for using multiple pseudonyms, including Neil Moret, Jules Lemare, and others. Moret's career began with early success when his composition "Margery" was performed by John Philip Sousa's band. He co-founded the Daniels & Russell Publishing Company in 1904 and later became an executive at Remick Music Company. In 1913, he established his own firm and served as president of Villa Moret, Inc. from 1924 to 1931.

Moret collaborated with notable lyricists such as Gus Kahn and Richard Whiting, contributing to a catalog that includes hits like "Moonlight and Roses," "Chloe (Song of the Swamp)," and "She's Funny That Way." His song "You Tell Me Your Dream, I'll Tell You Mine" was widely recorded by artists like Bing Crosby and the Mills Brothers. Moret passed away on January 23, 1943, in Los Angeles, California, and was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970.
