Andrew Sterling

American lyricist born in New York City (August 26, 1874 – August 11, 1955). After he graduated from high school, he began writing songs and vaudevilles. An important event was his meeting with the composer Harry Von Tilzer in 1898, which began a songwriting partnership that lasted almost 30 years. He also collaborated with Bernie Grossman, M.K. Jerome, William Jerome, Kerry Mills, his brother Ray Sterling, Ray Henderson, Edward P. Moran, and Bartley Costello.
