Paul Francis Webster was born in New York City in 1907. In the 1930s, he worked with Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer at Paramount Pictures, where they wrote songs like 'Stardust' and 'Moon River'. He later wrote over a thousand songs on his own, including 'Tender Is The Night' and 'The Shadow of Your Smile'.
