[Max Meth shared credit in the ASCAP database,
but not on the printed sheet music. He was a well-known
Broadway and TV orchestra conductor and music director.
Writers Mack David & Jerry Livingston had previously
collaborated with Al Hoffman on "A Dream Is a Wish Your
Heart Makes" from Walt Disney's "Cinderella." Not sure
if this had anything to do with being hired to write
this theme song, but it certainly couldn't have hurt.]
