Alan Jay Lerner ( August 31, 1918 – June 14, 1986 ) was an American lyricist and librettist.

Born in New York City, he was the son of Edith Adelson Lerner and Joseph Jay Lerner, whose brother, Samuel Alexander Lerner, was founder and owner of the Lerner Stores, a chain of dress shops.

Alan Jay Lerner was educated at Bedales School in England, The Choate School ( now Choate Rosemary Hall ) in Wallingford, Connecticut, ( where he wrote " The Choate Marching Song ") and Harvard.

At both Choate and Harvard, Lerner was a classmate of John F. Kennedy ; at Choate they had worked together on the yearbook staff.

Lerner and Loewe's first collaboration was a musical adaptation of Barry Conners's farce The Patsy called Life of the Party for a Detroit stock company.

This was the same team who would later join with Lerner and Loewe to create Gigi.

Before finishing the musical, Lerner was eager to write while My Fair Lady was taking so long to complete.

Lerner was hospitalized with bleeding ulcers while Loewe continued to have heart troubles.

Camelot was a hit nonetheless, with a poignant coda ; immediately following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, his widow told Life magazine that JFK's administration reminded her of the " one brief shining moment " of Lerner and Loewe's Camelot.

In 1965 Lerner collaborated again with Burton Lane on the musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, which was adapted for film in 1970.

Lerner was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1971.

After their divorce in 1981, Lerner was ordered to pay her a settlement of $ 50, 000.

According to Lerner, " he kept the boat from rocking, and Camelot might never have reached New York if it hadn't been for him.

He opined that Lerner and Loewe's score for The Day Before Spring the previous year was better than theirs for Brigadoon, explaining that, " If my first emotion last night was admiration rather than sheer enjoyment, it was because the proceedings seemed to me more marked by taste and style than by emotional warmth in book and music, but there is no denying that the authors have matured as theatrical craftsmen ".

Mr. Lerner points out that grey and black operations ultimately have a heavy cost, in that the target population sooner or later recognizes them as propaganda and discredits the source.

Holloway reassured him over a lunch at Claridge's: Lerner recalled, " He put down his knife and fork, threw back his head and unleashed a strong baritone note that resounded through the dining room, drowned out the string quartet and sent a few dozen people off to the osteopath to have their necks untwisted.
