  • Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember “Thanks for the Memory” Oscar-Winning
    Back to Newsroom (/newsroom) Leo Robin Music Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember "Thanks for the Memory" Oscar-Winning Lyricist Leo Robin Who Served on The Hollywood Office of Music War Council During WWII - The Hollywood Walk of Fame Should Install #LeosLostStar" Awarded to Him 30 Years Ago Tuesday, April 28, 2020 3:18 PM SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2020 / Turning on the radio back in 1944 you would have heard the most celebrated jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton and vocalists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dinah Washington and actress Marlene Dietrich singing the wartime song "No Love, No Nothin'." Lyricist Leo Robin wrote the heartfelt lyrics to this song during World War II when romantic and sentimental songs about the girls left behind captured the mood of the country. In The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums, Will Friedwald gives his interpretation, "this no-frills love song is refreshingly straightforward. No frills, no love, no nothin', in fact -- it's all about the deprivation of the 'love-sick girl' on the home front is suffering; [...] there's an obvious parallel with wartime rationing and shortages. It was near impossible to get sugar, rubber, tires, or gasoline, among other goods and the same thing applied to love, she's not getting any of that either." Today's songwriters and musicians amid the Coronavirus pandemic follow in the footsteps of those during World War II in writing and performing songs that capture the mood of the country during this new war against what President Trump calls the "invisible enemy." For example, Alicia Keys, a 15-time Grammy winner, debuted her new powerful anthem "Good Job" to honor the unsung heroes in her own life during a CNN global town hall addressing the latest developments in the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Leo Robin Music's Second Open Letter to Ms. Kristin Chenoweth Re: Moral Wrong for Failure to Install the Star, "#Leosloststar," Awarded to the "Thanks For The Memory" Oscar-Winning Lyricist More Than 30 Years Ago SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2021 / Dear Ms. Chenoweth, I, Leo Robin's grandson, sent you an open letter on March 2, 2021 via FedEx, nearly two months ago, but assume that you never received it since I haven't heard back from you. I am enclosing it once more so you will better understand the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the long-standing mistake made by the Hollywood Walk of Fame more than 30 years ago. The 1990 Walk of Fame Committee awarded a star to lyricist Leo Robin but the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce never installed it. The Hollywood Chamber as well as the Walk of Fame Committee continue to be morally adrift in regard to this unprecedented situation with the star awarded to Robin but not installed. And they must recognize that they bear responsibility for this on-going moral injustice and take the steps to address it. Ms. Chenoweth, you are known for your distinctive speaking voice, one which has been compared to that of Betty Boop. In an interview reported by Walter Scott in Parade magazine on April 5, 2014, "Kristin Chenoweth Takes a Wicked Vocal Turn in Rio 2." He posed this question, "You have such a distinctive voice - both singing and speaking. Some people would say, Are you related to Betty Boop? Are you sucking helium?" Ms. Chenoweth, you responded, "I have a sort of nineteen-thirties cartoon voice that's well-suited for animation.

  • Thanks for the Memories
    July 2018 Volume 8, Issue 1 Thanks for the Memories To quote from the song usually connected with Bob Hope, “Thanks for the memory Of tinkling temple bells Alma mater yells And Cuban rum And towels from The very best hotels Oh how lovely it was.” (Songwriters: Leo Robin / Ralph Rainger / Thanks for the Memory lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC) Many of us have great memories of meetings of PACE with other groups over the years. On the cusp of entering into a new era, the board has been challenged to present his or her personal memories. My first attendance was in Toronto, ON. I very well remember arriving and not having much clue of what was going on, but it didn’t take long to get into the swing of things. I also remember as a first time attendee, I received a bag of doodads, trinkets and what-nots. Hmmmm, as I recall, it took some fancy packing to get that stuffed into suitcase and carry-on for the flight home. I still have my photo from our journey to San Francisco and a trip on the California Hornblower cruise. My photo is not only me, but also Evelyn Reavis and her daughters. March of 2008 took us to Albuquerque, NM. We had a great dinner on Sandia Mountain, but didn’t get to take the tram ride due to the wind conditions. My New Orleans trip started with a six hour delay in Cincinnati, but I did arrive in time for a great Lowenstein/Sandler dinner at Antoines! Lots of fun in a great city! Austin, TX in 2016 – I remember it well.
