Timeline

1887

Abe Olman (December 20, 1887 – January 4, 1984), born Abraham Olshewitz, was an American songwriter and music publisher.

1900

He learned piano as a child, and in the early 1900s started work as a traveling music salesman around Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

1907

His first compositions were published in Cincinnati in 1907, and then in 1909 in Indianapolis, where he lived for a period.

1912

He composed a number of successful ragtime and popular songs including "Red Onion Rag" (1912), "Down Among the Sheltering Palms" (1915), "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" (1917), and "Down By the O-Hi-O" (1920).

In 1912, he moved to New York City, where his "Red Onion Rag" was published by George W. Meyer.

He also spent time in Europe, performing in clubs in London and Paris before the outbreak of the First World War.

1914

After returning to the US, he set up the LaSalle Music Publishing Company in Chicago in 1914, and published his own song, "Down Among the Sheltering Palms", with words by James Brockman.

He sold the song to New York publisher Leo Feist; it was performed and recorded by Al Jolson and became a great success.

1917

He continued to write prolifically, mainly with lyricist Ed Rose, and in 1917 they published "Oh Johnny, Oh!".

The song was recorded in 1917 by both Billy Murray and Nora Bayes.

1920

In 1920, Olman began working in Manhattan for the Forster music publishing firm, and became a member of ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

Two of his songs were included in the 1920 Ziegfeld Follies, including "O-Hi-O (O-My!-O!)", with lyrics by Jack Yellen, which was introduced by Al Jolson and which later (as "Down By the O-Hi-O") became a hit for the Andrews Sisters.

Although he continued to write songs thereafter, he worked increasingly as an executive in the music industry.

1922

He married actress Mattie Adele Parker (stage name Peggy Parker) in 1922; they had two daughters.

In later life he moved to live in southern California.

1935

He became the secretary and general manager of Leo Feist, Inc. in 1935, holding the post until 1956, and also began working for the much larger firm of Robbins Music in the early 1940s.

He is credited as being one of the first to see the benefits of promoting a song by placing it in a motion picture, particularly by playing the theme song under the opening credits.

1939

It was successfully revived in 1939 by Orrin Tucker with singer "Wee" Bonnie Baker, and by The Andrews Sisters, and was recorded in 1959 by Peggy Lee on her album I Like Men!.

1946

Olman was also director of ASCAP from 1946 to 1956.
