American lyricist Johnny Burke was once a performer in vaudeville and in the Ziegfeld Follies. He also appeared in musicals during the late '20s and early '30s. He began penning songs for Hollywood movies and popular songs in the mid-'30s. Among his hits are "Moonlight Becomes You." In 1940, Burke began a long-term partnership with James Van Heusen and in 1944 won an Oscar for their song, "Swinging on a Star", from Going My Way. The duo went on to compose many songs for singer/actor Bing Crosby.
