Joe Lubin, 84, Co-Writer of 'Tutti Frutti,' Dies
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19 (AP) ù Joe Lubin, who wrote numerous songs for popular Doris Day movies during the 1960's and later wrote "Tutti Frutti" with Little Richard, died on Oct. 9. He was 84.
Born in London, Mr. Lubin began his career as a teenager under the guidance of the composer Noel Gray. With songs like "The Shoemaker's Serenade," "I Keep Forgetting to Remember" and "Till Stars Forget to Shine," he became one of England's most successful songwriters during World War II.
After coming to the United States in 1947, he wrote songs recorded by Pat Boone, Bob Hope, Petula Clark, Denny Vaughn and Lainie Kazan, among others.
In the 1960's he began writing music for Ms. Day, including title songs for the films "Teacher's Pet," "Move Over Darling," "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "The Glass Bottom Boat." During the 70's he composed for the television series "Bonanza" and "High Chaparral."
