Timeline
No American has written more first-rate songs than Arlen. He grew up in a musical family (his father was a cantor), and disappointed but didn't surprise his parents by dropping out of high school to become a musician. A stint as pianist and singer with a dance band, the Buffalodians, allowed him to escape Buffalo for New York City. Arlen stayed on after the band's demise; after some mostly unsuccessful attempts to conquer vaudeville or Broadway, Arlen stumbled onto a tune that, with lyrics by Ted Koehler, became "Get Happy", his first hit. With Koehler as lyricist, Arlen became the staff composer for Harlem's Cotton Club, a premiere showcase for African-American entertainers such as Cab Calloway and Ethel Waters. They wrote "I've Got the World on a String" and "Ill Wind", among dozens of others. Arlen's second important collaborator was E. Y. Harburg, with whom he composed the score for _Wizard of Oz, The (1939)_, celebrated specialty numbers for Bert Lahr and Groucho Marx, and two Broadway musicals.
He was one of the members of the Ken Darby Vocal Trio. His voice can be heard as the Scarecrow in the Decca Records single of the Harburg-Arlen song "The Jitterbug", which was cut from the final release print of "The Wizard of Oz". This Decca Records single, with "Over the Rainbow" (as sung by Judy Garland)on the reverse side, was not recorded from the soundtrack of the film, but was part of a studio cast 78 RPM 5-record album of the songs featuring Judy Garland and the Ken Darby Singers, with Victor Young and his orchestra. The album was the first album ever made of songs from "The Wizard of Oz"; it was eventually released on LP and remained in print well into the 1950's.
Was nominated for Broadway's 1958 Tony Award, his music with lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, as part of Best Musical nomination for "Jamaica."
Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1971.
Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume Two, 1986-1990, pages 27-29. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1999.
Pictured on one of a set of four 32¢ US commemorative postage stamps in the Legends of American Music series, issued 11 September 1996, celebrating American songwriters. Others honored in this issue are Johnny Mercer, Dorothy Fields, and Hoagy Carmichael.
His musical, "The Wizard of Oz" at the Marriott Theatre in Chicago, Illinois was nominated for a 1999 Equity Joseph Jefferson Award for Musical Production.
