  Vincent Youmans b
Youmans was an important composer and producer for the stage during the '20s and '30s, whose career was cut short by a long illness.
Youmans’ next show, WILDFLOWER (1923), with book and lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II, ran for a creditable 477 performances, and included April Blossoms, and Bambalina, recorded by Paul Whiteman and Ray Miller.
Youmans contributed three songs with lyrics by Buddy De Sylva: Should I Be Sweet?, Oh, How I Long To Belong To You, and Miss Merman's show-stopper, ‘Rise N Shine’, which was also a hit for Paul Whiteman.

Youmans was a runner for a Wall Street brokerage house when he was drafted to fight in World War I. While producing troop shows for the Navy, he fell in love with the theatre.
Youmans' next show was Wildflower (1923), a 477 performance hit with lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II.
The score included the hit songs "Tea For Two" and "I Want to Be Happy." The fresh and often ambitious melodies in Hit the Deck (1927), Rainbow (1928) and Take a Chance (1932) gave Youmans a reputation second only to George Gershwin's, but tuberculosis and heavy drinking abbreviated his career.

 Playbill Features: ON THE RECORD: Through the Years with Youmans and Wodehouse
Vincent Youmans is one of the most intriguing, forgotten composers of the Broadway musical.
Youmans' active career lasted only a dozen years; he left about one hundred published songs, twenty of which range from very good to brilliant.
The score is somewhat odd, jumping back and forth between Youmans' later style (as in the title song and "You're Everywhere") and earlier, peppier melodies (like "Kinda Like You," one of those catchy syncopated tunes that gets lodged in your memory).
