David Mann (songwriter)

Upon his discharge from the Army in 1945, they had the honor of placing Mann as personal pianist to President Truman.

[2] Mann worked on or appeared in the films: Twenty Grand, I Dood It, Four Jills and a Jeep, Pin-Up Girl, and, during his Artie Shaw days, Second Chorus.

[2] Mann wrote the song "Somebody Bad Stole de Wedding Bell", recorded by Eartha Kitt between 1952 and 1954.

Jazz musicians love "No Moon At All," written with lyricist Redd Evans, which follows the baroque chord changes of Bach's Double Violin Concerto.

[2] Thereafter, his songwriting career was replaced by journalism, writing an op-ed for The Suburban Trends, a local NJ newspaper, for 32 years until his death.
