 Playbill News: ON THE RECORD: “The Producers” from Hollywood and the Songs of Gus Kahn
Kahn (1886-1941) was one of those semi-anonymous Tin Pan Alley wordsmiths.
And, of course, there’s Kahn’s incisive paean to matrimony, “Makin’ Whoopee,” a title phrase that went right into the contemporary phrasebook.
Other long-ago standards on the Kahn CD include “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” “San Francisco,” “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” “Memories,” “I’m Through with Love,” “My Buddy” and “It Had to Be You.” Not bad for some guy that few of us remember.

Kahn's career ascends to spectacular heights via such hits as "Pretty Baby", "My Buddy", "Toot Toot Tootsie" and "Making Whoopee", only to go into eclipse when he loses his savings in the 1929 stock-market crash.
