Josef Myrow
Josef Myrow (February 18, 1910 – December 24, 1987 in Los Angeles, California)[1] was a Russian-born composer, known for his work in film scores in the 1940s and 1950s.[1] He was twice nominated for an Academy Award: in 1947 for the song "You Do" from the film Mother Wore Tights and in 1950 for "Wilhelmina" from the film Wabash Avenue.[1] Both songs were written with Mack Gordon.[1] Other notable compositions include "Autumn Nocturne" (lyrics later added by Kim Gannon)[2] and "You Make Me Feel So Young" (again with Mack Gordon).[1]
He also wrote, with Robert Mills, "C A P Is on the Go",[3][4] the official song of the Civil Air Patrol, the United States Air Force Auxiliary.
He died from the effects of Parkinson's disease in late 1987.[1] He was married to Beatrice Myrow.[5]
