Robert Mellin
Israel Melnikoff (September 22, 1902 – July 10, 1994), known professionally as Robert Mellin, was a Russian Empire-born American composer, lyricist, and music publisher. Born in Kyiv, he was raised in Chicago, where he began his career as a music plugger at Remick Music. In the early 1940s, he moved to New York, where he established his own company in 1947.In the early 1950s, Mellin moved to Europe, where he wrote music or lyrics for hundreds of songs, including several hits, over the next two decades. His biggest hit was ''My One and Only Love'' written with lyricist Guy Wood. It was recorded by many artists, including Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker and (as a duet) John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman. In 1962, Mellin wrote lyrics for Acker Bilk's instrumental ''Stranger on the Shore'', enabling it to be covered by vocal artists.
From the mid-1950s onwards, he ran his own music publishing company, Robert Mellin Music, based in London's Tin Pan Alley on Denmark Street. Tony Hatch found his first job there. The company acquired exclusive rights to all film scores coming out of Czechoslovakia and Rumania, as well as many scores from Italy. With Gian-Piero Reverberi, Mellin wrote the theme music for the 1964 TV series ''The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe'', which became a hit single, and, in 1966, the score for ''Don Quijote''. He also wrote music for films in the 1960s.
Mellin married the songwriter Patricia Rossiter in 1980. He died while on a business trip to Rome at age 91. Provided by Wikipedia
