Robert
Sour (1905–1985) was a lyricist
and composer,
and the president of Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI). In
1940 Sour worked for Broadcast Music as its lyrics editor, and by 1966 had
risen through company ranks to become BMI's president. Two years later he had
become the company's vice chairman and was instrumental in establishing BMI's
musical theater workshop.[3] He retired in 1970. Working with lyricists Edward Heyman
and Frank Eyton
and composer Johnny Green, Sour wrote the lyrics to the
ballad "Body and Soul" from the revue, Three's A
Crowd. In partnership with Una Mae
Carlisle (1915–1956), he also composed lyrics for the song
"Walkin' by the River", which became a radio hit as sung by Syliva
Froos (1927–2004) in 1941. Ella
Fitzgerald recorded "Walkin' by the River" for Decca Records,
with Leroy Kirkland directing the orchestra. Benny Carter also recorded
"Walkin", with Carlisle on vocals. Sour composed music and lyrics for
both film and theater; along with Henry Katzman,
he wrote the soundtrack sections "Twitterpated" and "Thumper's
Song" for the Walt Disney Productions animated feature Bambi.
