Legendary Songwriter Diane Lampert Dies

It’s typical for audiences to pay the most attention to the celebrities on the big screen, with songwriters often getting little notice. Sadly though, the world was forced to turn their attention to one legendary songwriter, Diane Lampert, this weekend, after she died of heart failure in a Manhattan hospital. She was 88 years old.

Prominently known in the 50s and 60s, Lampert wrote title songs for over 20 movies with The Snow Queen, I’ll Take Sweden, Billie, and Silent Running being some of her most famous work. Bob Hope, Cary Grant, and Buster Keaton were jus a few of the huge Hollywood names that starred in films Lampert wrote the music for.

However, it was her hit Nothin’ Shakin’ (But the Leaves on the Trees) that the songwriter was most famous for. Lampert actually wrote this song in 1963, and it was then performed by The Beatles for a radio show on the BBC in London. It was released in disc format to the public on the “Live at the BBC” album The Beatles released in 1994.

Lampert is survived by her beloved husband, Fred Stuart, who announced the news this past weekend. He is currently the president of Rainbow Music Corp. A memorial service for Lampert is scheduled for Wednesday morning at the Riverside Memorial Chapel.
