He was best known for the song "All of Me” which he co-wrote with Seymour Simons and has been recorded about 2,000 times. – Wikipedia
“All of Me” by Gerald Marks
Might ignite romantic sparks,
Though its coyly sly conceit
Is a little indiscreet.
In any case, this song for lovers
Has had, we’re told, was two thousand covers,
And when we hear a song so often
It has a tendency to soften
Any hints in the vicinity
Of prurience and lost virginity.
