'''Sam Coslow''' ([[December 27]], [[1902]] -  [[April 2]], [[1982]]) was an [[United States|American]] songwriter, singer and film producer.  Coslow was born in [[New York City]].  He began writing songs as a teenager.  He contributed songs to [[Broadway]] revues, formed the music publishing company [[Spier and Coslow]] in [[1928]] and made a number of vocal recordings. 

With the explosion of film musicals in the late [[1920s]], [[Hollywood]] attracted a number of ambitious young songwriters and Coslow joined the exodus in [[1929]].  Coslow and his partner Larry Spier sold their publishing business to [[Paramount Pictures]] and Coslow became a Paramount songwriter.  He formed a successful partnership with composer [[Arthur Johnston]] and together they provided the scores for a number of films including [[Bing Crosby]] vehicles.  Coslow became a film producer in the [[1940s]] and won the [[Academy Award]] for Best Short Film for his production ''[[Heavenly Music]]'' in [[1943]].  He died in [[New York City]].
