Arthur Schwartz (25 November 1900 – 3 September 1984) was an American composer of songs for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway.
Not the Family Business
Forced by his father, an attorney, to study law, Schwartz graduated from NYU Law School with a Doctorate in Jurisprudence and was admitted to the bar in 1924. -- Wikipedia

But though admitted to the bar,
He chose a different path by far,
And joined the musical elites
In partnership with Howard Dietz.
