Matty Malneck (December 9, 1903 – February 25, 1981) was an American jazz bandleader, violinist, violist and songwriter.
Malneck's first professional gigs as a violinist began when he was age 16. He worked with Paul Whiteman from 1926 to 1937, and also recorded in the same period with Frank Signorelli, Frankie Trumbauer, Bix Beiderbecke, and Mildred Bailey. He led his own big band in 1938–39 and shot short films with vocalist Liz Tilton in the 1940s. He recorded as a leader for London Records in 1932 and Decca Records in 1938–39.
Malneck's credits as a songwriter have overshadowed his contributions as a performer. He composed several songs which became pop standards, including "I'll Never Be The Same" (recorded by Frank Sinatra, Teddi King and Jeri Southern), "I'm Thru With Love" performed by Diana Krall, "Goody Goody", "Eeny Meeny Miney Mo", and "If You Were Mine" (lyrics by Johnny Mercer and recorded by Billie Holiday in New York City on October 25, 1935, for Brunswick 7554).
Of Thee I Sing is a musical with a score by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin and a book by George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind. The musical lampoons American politics; the story concerns John P. Wintergreen, who runs for President of the United States on the "love" platform. When he falls in love with the sensible Mary Turner instead of Diana Devereaux, the beautiful pageant winner selected for him, he gets into political hot water.
The original Broadway production, directed by Kaufman, opened in 1931 and ran for 441 performances, gaining critical and box office success. It has been revived twice on Broadway and in concert stagings in the U.S. and in London. In 1932, Of Thee I Sing was the first musical to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The Gershwins and George S. Kaufman had collaborated on a satirical musical in 1927 entitled Strike up the Band, which played in Philadelphia. The show concerned a cheese manufacturer who sponsors a war against Switzerland because it will be named after him. A version of Strike Up the Band, with the book altered by Morrie Ryskind, played on Broadway in early 1930. Much of the satire was replaced in the new version by silliness, leading Ryskind to recall, "What I had to do, in a sense, was to rewrite War and Peace for the Three Stooges."
"Of Thee I Sing" is a 1931 song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.
It was introduced by William Gaxton and Lois Moran in the 1931 musical Of Thee I Sing.
Of Thee I Sing is a phrase from the American patriotic song My Country, 'Tis of Thee (also known as "America"). The phrase may also refer to:

Co-written with Malneck, harpist Maxwell’s familiar tune “Shangri-La” (Four Coins 1957, Robert Maxwell 1964, Vic Dana 1964, Lettermen 1969) had originated during WW2 as a more complex instrumental piece titled “Fantasy For Harp.“ It was first recorded by him in 1943 or 1944 while a member of the U.S. 11th Naval District Coast Guard Band, which was conducted at the time by Lt. Rudy Vallee (listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_wFuiqkRwE ). Retitled “Shangri-La,” this more widely-available Columbia pressing was recorded a couple of years later. Note, however, that the melodic line that we know today as “Shangri-La” does not appear until halfway through this 6-minute piece, specifically at the start of Side 2.

WINTERGREEN:
From the Island of Manhattan to the Coast of Gold,
From North to South, from East to West,
You are the love I love the best.
You're the dream girl of the sweetest story ever told;
A dream I've sought both night and day
For years through all the U.S.A.
The star I've hitched my wagon to
Is very obviously you.
Of thee I sing, baby-
Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby.
You're my silver lining,
You're my sky of blue;
There's a love light shining
All because of you.
Of thee I sing baby-
You have got that certain thing, baby!
Shining star and inspiration,
Worthy of a mighty nation-
Of thee I sing!
MARY:
Of thee I sing, baby,
Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby.
You're my silver lining,

There's a love light shining
Just because of you!

Of thee I sing, baby;
You have got that certain thing, baby!
