Tin Pan Alley songwriter Fred E. Ahlert's most frequent writing partner was <a href="spotify:artist:6T6Viu1yqP8jz6Fr9AkCX6">Roy Turk</a>, with whom he wrote the 1928 hit "I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)." The song was originally recorded by <a href="spotify:artist:49rIehT663IKJuA3c16OkI">Ruth Etting</a> and was later revived by <a href="spotify:artist:7ACbi72WWZ0xb7Kv9H1Olr">Irene Dunn</a>, who sang it in the 1943 movie A Guy Named Joe. Another tune by Ahlert and <a href="spotify:artist:6T6Viu1yqP8jz6Fr9AkCX6">Turk</a> was "Mean to Me," recorded in 1929 by <a href="spotify:artist:49rIehT663IKJuA3c16OkI">Etting</a> and also by <a href="spotify:artist:3H6ORBd0KbGgnST31Kp28I">Helen Morgan</a>. The following year saw Ahlert's "Walking My Baby Back Home" recorded by <a href="spotify:artist:2zWl3bTi80586eXAl0bmUW">Harry Richman</a> and in 1931, Ahlert penned a tune that became one of <a href="spotify:artist:0Te1NusV6mkAMJ1VAkzJiX">Kate Smith</a>'s first hits: "I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)." In 1931, Ahlert also wrote what was to become a signature song of <a href="spotify:artist:6ZjFtWeHP9XN7FeKSUe80S">Bing Crosby</a>'s, "Where the Blue of the Night Meets the Gold of the Day." Ahlert's last hit came with 1935's "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." ~ Joslyn Layne
