George David Weiss, who wrote a stack of great songs in the '40s, '50s and '60s, has died at age 89. The shorter obituaries will probably mention "What a Wonderful World" (the Louis Armstrong one) as his best known song, but he knocked out many fine ones. "Can't Help Falling in Love," "Too Close for Comfort," "Lullaby in Birdland," and, would you believe, the two Stylistics hits "Heavy Falling Out" and "Let's Put it All Together"? He also worked on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," in a tangled saga recounted here. The list of his tunes goes on for nine pages, here. Weiss also served for many years as president of the Songwriters Guild of America.
