Make Someone Happy is a classic show tune from the Broadway musical Do Re Mi, with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The musical opened on Broadway in 1960, and the song appears on the original cast recording. The lyrics emphasize that fame is fleeting while Love is the real treasure, with lines like “Love is the answer” and “Make someone happy, and you will be happy too.” The tune has become a standard in the musical theatre and traditional pop repertoire, and Jimmy Durante also recorded a well known rendition that helped popularize it.
