Biography [ edit ]
Davis started performing in vaudeville in his teens. He began writing songs when working as an accompanist for Blossom Seeley . In 1917, he wrote "So Long Sammy" with Jack Yellen [1] [2]
His first success was 1920's "Margie ", with music by Con Conrad and J. Russel Robinson . His most popular song was "Baby Face ", written in 1926 with Harry Akst . For Broadway , Davis wrote the score for the 1927 edition of Artists and Models Sons o' Guns . His career lasted until the mid-1930s.[3] [4]
Davis's liberal use of false rhymes in his songs was scorned by some pure practitioners of the craft, and prompted Howard Dietz to compose a couplet : "Heaven Save Us|From Benny Davis."[5] Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.[6]
Davis died in December 1979, aged 84, in Miami, Florida.[6]
