Ralph Blane (1914-1995) met Hugh Martin in 1938, appearing in Hooray for What? They formed a quartet, “The Martins,” featured in Irving Berlin’s Louisiana Purchase, on Fred Allen’s radio series and with Judy Garland when she made a personal appearance with the premiere of The Wizard of Oz. Then came Best Foot Forward and a contract at MGM, which led to Meet Me In St. Louis. While Martin was in the Army, Blane collaborated with Harry Warren and Harold Arlen; MGM reunited the team in 1954. Their fellow songwriters voted them into the Hall of Fame in 1983.
