Born in Brooklyn, New York, Leboy was a precocious musician, gaining employment as a pianist by age 15,[1] and fame by age 18 with her song "I Wish I Had A Girl".[2] By age 21 she had songs on the Broadway stage[3] in Jumping Jupiter.[4] Notable performers of her day recorded her songs and compositions.[5] Lyrics for many of her songs were written by Gus Kahn whom she married in 1916.[6] They were the parents of Donald Gustave Kahn (July 17, 1918 – April 11, 2008) and Irene Kahn (1922–1985). Grace was played by Doris Day in I'll See You in My Dreams, a film that portrays the lives and times of Leboy and Kahn.[7]
