Biography

American lyricist Ray Evans is best known for his collaboration with composer Jay Livingston. Together, they penned many catchy tunes for stage, screen and television. Some of these songs, such as "Tammy," and "Silver Bells" have become American standards. They won Oscars in 1948 for "Buttons and Bows" (from Paleface), "Mona Lisa" (from Captain Carey USA, 1950) and "Que Sera Sera" (from The Man Who Knew Too Much, 1956). Evans met Livingston while studying at the University of Pennsylvania. Before becoming a lyricist, Evans worked as a musician on cruise ships. - Sandra Brennan, Rovi
