an absolutely amazing feat, and another 14 of his songs made it to the second spot of the charts.
In the years of the greatly popular radio program Your Hit Parade, between 1935 and 1950, forty-two songs by Harry Warren were placed in the coveted top ten. The song writer next best represented was Irving Berlin with thirty-three songs.
Although he had success on Broadway (ie. 42nd Street), his primary claim to fame is his importance in the history of the motion-picture musical. No other composer can match his record for the 25 year period between 1932 and 1957, when he was employed by all four major studios when they were specializing in musicals.
During this time with Warner Brothers, Twentieth Century-Fox, MGM, and Paramount, some 250 of his songs were published and performed, with 56 of them becoming standards.
