Jerome Kern
Jerome David Kern (January 27, 1885 – November 11, 1945) was an American composer of musical theatre and popular music.
One of the most important American theatre composers of the early 20th century, he wrote more than 700 songs, used in over 100 stage works, including such classics as "Ol' Man RiverCan't Help
Lovin'
Dat ManA Fine RomanceSmoke Gets in Your EyesThe Song
Is YouAll the Things
You
AreThe Way
You Look TonightLong Ago (and Far Away)" and
"Who?".
He collaborated with many of the leading librettists and lyricists of his era, including George Grossmith Jr., Guy Bolton, P. G. Wodehouse, Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II, Dorothy Fields, Johnny Mercer, Ira Gershwin and Yip Harburg.
A native New Yorker, Kern created dozens of Broadway musicals and Hollywood films in a career that lasted for more than four decades.
His musical innovations, such as 4/4 dance rhythms and the employment of syncopation and jazz progressions, built on, rather than rejected, earlier musical theatre tradition.
He and his collaborators also employed his melodies to further the action or develop characterization to a greater extent than in the other musicals of his day, creating the model for later musicals.
Although dozens of Kern's musicals and musical films were hits, only "Show Boat" is now regularly revived.
Songs from his other shows, however, are still frequently performed and adapted.
Many of Kern's songs have been adapted by jazz musicians to become standard tunes.

Swing Time (film)
Swing Time is a 1936 American RKO musical comedy film set mainly in New York City, and starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
It features Helen Broderick, Victor Moore, Betty Furness, Eric Blore and Georges Metaxa, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
The film was directed by George Stevens.
Noted dance critic Arlene Croce considers "Swing Time" Astaire and Rogers' best dance musical, a view shared by John Mueller and Hannah Hyam.
It features four dance routines that are each regarded as masterpieces.
According to "The Oxford Companion to the American MusicalSwing Time" is "a strong candidate for the best of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals".
The Oxford Companion says that, although the screenplay is contrived, it "left plenty of room for dance and all of it was superb. …
Although the movie is remembered as one of the great dance musicals, it also boasts one of the best film scores of the 1930s.
Never Gonna Dance" is often singled out as the partnership's and collaborator Hermes Pan's most profound achievement in filmed dance, while "The Way You Look Tonight" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and went on to become Astaire's most successful hit record, scoring first place in the U.S. charts in 1936.
Jerome Kern's score, the second of two he composed specially for Astaire, contains three of his most memorable songs.
The film's plot has been criticized, though, as has the performance of Metaxa.
More praised is Rogers' acting and dancing performance.
Rogers herself credited much of the film's success to Stevens: "He gave us a certain quality
, I think, that made it stand out above the others.
Swing Time" also marked the beginning of a decline in popularity of the Astaire–
Rogers partnership among the general public, with box office receipts falling faster than usual, after a successful opening.
Nevertheless, the film was a sizable hit, costing $886,000, grossing over $2,600,000 worldwide, and showing a net profit of $830,000.
The partnership never again regained the creative heights scaled in this and previous films.
In 1999 "Swing Time" was one of "Entertainment Weekly"'s top 100 films.
In 2004 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
In the new AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition)
it has been added at #90.
