Jerry Livingston wrote melodies that became part of mid-century American film, radio, and popular song. The songwriter from the USA worked often with lyricists Mack David and Al Hoffman, contributing to Disney songs, standards, and television themes. Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes, and Mairzy Doats show his place in the lighter commercial song world of the 1940s and 1950s.
