John Joseph "Johnny" Burke (28 June 1911 – November 1987) was an Irish professional association football player. A goalkeeper, he played for Chester City and Millwall before the Second World War, making over 100 appearances in the Football League. He also appeared as a guest player for West Ham United in World War II. In 1947 he joined Gillingham, at the time playing in the Southern League and helped the club win the championship in 1948. In 1950 the club gained election to the Football League and signed new goalkeeper Larry Gage, but kept Burke on the books. Despite being nearly 40 years old he played five times in the 1950–51 season before retiring.
John Francis "Johnny" Burke (October 3, 1908 - February 25, 1964) was a lyricist, widely regarded as one of the finest writers of popular songs in America between the 1920s and 1950s.
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1927, Burke joined the Chicago office of the Irving Berlin Publishing Company in 1926 as a pianist and song salesman. He also played piano in dance bands and vaudeville.
Career
Burke and Spina
Irving Berlin Publishing transferred Burke to its New York City office, where he began to write lyrics in collaboration with composer Harold Spina. In 1932, they wrote "Shadows on the Swanee", followed in 1933 by "Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore", their first big hit for the Guy Lombardo Orchestra. In 1934, Burke and Spina wrote "You're Not the Only Oyster in the Stew", which was a novelty hit for Fats Waller, as was "My Very Good Friend, the Milkman". Burke and Spina wrote many songs that were played by leading bands of the day, including those led by Ben Pollack, Paul Whiteman and Ozzie Nelson. 1936 saw the end of the Burke - Spina partnership, as Burke left for Hollywood.
Johnny Burke (1851–1930) was a Newfoundland songwriter and musician from St. John's, where he lived all his life. He was nicknamed the 'Bard of Prescott Street', and wrote many popular songs that artists in the 1930s and 1940s released.
