Music & Lyrics by Hugh Martin
Hugh Martin is a native of Birmingham, Alabama and studied piano at that city’s University. He sang in the Broadway production of Horray for What (1937), afterwards forming a song-writing partnership with lyricist Ralph Blane who was also in the cast. They organized a mixed vocal quartet known as The Four Martins. He was vocal arranger for many stage productions including One for the Money (1937), Too Many Girls (1937), The Boys from Syracuse (1938), The Streets of Paris (1939), DuBarry Was A Lady (1939), and Louisiana Purchase (1940). The partners wrote their own successful show, Best Foot Forward, in 1941, then went to Hollywood in 1943 for the screen version and to write for films. These included Thousands Cheer (1943); Meet Me In St. Louis (1944), with Judy Garland; Ziegfeld Follies (1944); and Good News (1947). Mr. Martin returned to Broadway to work with other collaborators and write Look, Ma, I’m Dancin’!, followed by Make a Wish (1951), Love From Judy (1952), and High Spirits (1964). His later film scores (written with Blane) include Anthea (1954), The Girl Rush (1955), and The Girl Most Likely (1957).
