Borney Bergantine (October 3, 1909 – July 4, 1952) was the composer of "My Happiness," a music hit from the late 1940s that endures as an American love tune.
His birth name, Biagio Bergantino, became Americanized over time, first to Barny, and finally to Borney Bergantine.
He was active in Italian-American affairs as editor of The American Tribune, a newspaper devoted to the interests of that community.
His last home, shared with his wife, Vita, and their two children, Patty and Billy, was at 4234 Grand Avenue North.
[2] Presley recorded the then five-year-old song at Sun Studios in Memphis on July 18, 1953—a year after Bergantine's death.
Jon & Sondra Steele who recorded the first version remade the song in 1970 and it was produced by Paul Marshall, a former member of the psychedelic band of the 60s-the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
"My Happiness" has been sung by many other artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Jim Reeves, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams and Pat Boone.
