Ray Evans

Half of one of Hollywood's most productive songwriting partnerships, Ray Evans wrote the lyrics while Jay Livingston composed the melodies for three Academy Award-winning songs: "Buttons and Bows," "Mona Lisa" and "Que Sera, Sera," the last introduced by Doris Day in Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. Over a partnership that began at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1930s and lasted more than sixty years, the pair also wrote "Silver Bells," now a Christmas standard, and the television themes for Bonanza and Mr. Ed.
