Diverted from a no-doubt promising career as a concert pianist due to undersized hands, Jule Styne instead became a songwriter and with Sammy Cahn wrote several hits during the 1940s, including "I'll Walk Alone," "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" and "I Fall in Love Too Easily." His second career came on Broadway as a showmaker, with credits such as Gypsy, Funny Girl, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Bells Are Ringing.
Born in London in 1905, Julius K. Stein had emigrated to Chicago by 1912, and appeared as a featured soloist with the symphony by his early teens. After being rejected from classical performance because of the size of his hands, Styne began writing songs as consolation, and attended Chicago Musical College while organizing several jazz bands during the 1930s. He worked as a vocal coach in New York for several years, then traveled to Hollywood in 1937 to perform a similar function, but soon diversified into composing arrangements for background music. His first major composition, written with Frederick Loewe, was "I Don't Want to Walk Without You," taken from 1942's Sweater Girl and later recorded by Bing Crosby and The Harry James Orchestra. He was introduced to Sammy Cahn by a movie producer, and the pair's relationship soon began to gel.
