{{distinguish|Bernie Bierman}}Bernard "Bernie" Bierman (August 26, 1908 – November 5, 2012) was an American composer of popular songs.[1]

Biography

Bierman was born in New York City.[2] He studied pre-law and law at NYU and Brooklyn Law School, passing the bar in 1930. He practiced law until 1942 when he joined the U.S. Army where he served until 1945.

After the war he was part of Tin Pan Alley, writing a multitude of songs that were performed by such artists as Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Harry James, Guy Lombardo, Sammy Kaye, Xavier Cugat and Jimmy Heath.

Two of his best known songs of this period are "Midnight Masquerade", recorded 11 different times, which reached number 3 in the charts, and "Vanity", recorded by Don Cherry, which reached the Top 20.

He retired from music in 1952, but returned in 1986 when his song "Cuban Mambo" was featured in the Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors.[3]
