==Life and career==
David was born on July 5, 1912 in New York City, New York, to a Jewish family. David originally planned to become an attorney and attended Cornell University and St. John's University Law School. Despite these original goals, in the mid-1940s, David began writing songs for New York's Tin Pan Alley. These initial successes prompted David to move to Hollywood, California, to work in the film and television industries.
David enjoyed considerable success, including eight Academy Award nominations for "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", which he, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston wrote for Walt Disney's ''Cinderella'' (1950), followed by the title songs from ''The Hanging Tree'' (1959), ''Bachelor in Paradise'' (1961), ''Walk on the Wild Side'' (1962), ''It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'' (1963), ''Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte'' (1964), "The Ballad of Cat Ballou" from ''Cat Ballou'' (1965) and "My Wishing Doll" from ''Hawaii'' (1966). David was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975. David's "most remunerative"〔Vosburgh, Dick. "Obituary for David Mack", ''The Independent'', Wednesday, 19 January 1994〕 song, "Sunflower", was published in 1948, and Frank Sinatra turned it into a hit. Jerry Herman's hit theme song for ''Hello, Dolly!'', composed over a decade later, used the same melody line as David's "Sunflower." When David sued Herman for copyright infringement, Herman settled out of court with David (for a reputed $250,000),〔 claiming he had never heard David's "Sunflower" prior to working on "Hello, Dolly!"〔Jerry Herman (with Marilyn Stasio). Showtune: A Memoir. New York: Donald I. Fine Books, 1996, pp. 102–108.〕
