Happy Birthday: RUDY VALLEE.

Rudy Vallee: July 28,(1901)-July 3,(1986). As a singing bandleader in the 1920s and 1930s, he introduced many songs that became popular: "Goodnight, Sweetheart," "The Maine Stein Song," "As Time Goes By," "Would You Like to Take a Walk?," "Betty Co-Ed" and his two theme songs, "Heigh-Ho, Everybody" and "I'm Just a Vagabond Lover." He never did introduce the 1967 hit that parodied his style, "Winchester Cathedral," although he eventually sang it.
