Snyder's growing name as a top-line composer led to his compositions being used in stage plays with the first to make it to Broadway in 1908. Following his teaming up with Irving Berlin, the two were hired to perform and sing their music in the 1910 musical Up and Down Broadway. Snyder would become widely known to a later generation through hits such as 1921's 'The Sheik of Araby' recorded by several artists including Duke Ellington (in 1932[2]), Benny Goodman (in 1937), and The Beatles (in 1962, Decca Audition). The most notable of Snyder's works is 'Who's Sorry Now?' written in 1923 in collaboration with Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. 'Who's Sorry Now?' became a No.1 hit on the UK Singles Chart for Connie Francis in 1958 and went to No. 4 on the American Billboard charts. In 2000, it was named one of the Songs of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America.
In 1930, Snyder retired from the songwriting business and moved to California where he opened a Hollywood nightclub. As of 2007, his compositions have been used in about twenty-two motion pictures[1] from 1926's The Sheik of Araby, to the 1946's Marx Brothers' A Night in Casablanca, to 1979's All That Jazz, to 2002's The Good Girl.
Ted Snyder died in 1965 in Woodland Hills and was interred in the Oakwood Memorial Park Cemetery in Chatsworth, California. In 1970, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. (Retracter)...(lire la suite) Source de l'extrait biographique : Wikipedia
