According to Wilfrid Sheed, quoted in Time Magazine, "By silent consensus, the king of this army of unknown soldiers, the Hollywood incognitos, was Harry Warren, who had more songs on the Hit Parade than Berlin himself and who would win the contest hands down if enough people have heard of him." William Zinsser noted, "The familiarity of Harry Warren's songs is matched by the anonymity of the man... he is the invisible man, his career a prime example of the oblivion that cloaked so many writers who cranked out good songs for bad movies." At least three episodes of the Lawrence Welk Show were devoted entirely to Warren's music: Season 18, Episode 5, October 7, 1972;"Season 18: 1972–73", Welk Musical Family, accessed June 24, 2013 Season 25, Episode 10, November 24, 1979;"Season 25: 1979–80", Welk Musical Family, accessed June 24, 2013 and Season 27, Episode 17, January 2, 1982"Season 27: 1981–82", Welk Musical Family, accessed June 24, 2013 Susannah McCorkle's debut album was The Music of Harry Warren (1976).
