From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Kal Mann (May 6, 1917 - November 28, 2001) was an American lyricist.
Born Kalman Cohen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mann began his career in entertainment as a comedy writer until friend and songwriter Bernie Lowe encouraged him to try writing lyrics for the music business. Mann co-wrote songs with Lowe and Dave Appell, yielding a number of major rock and roll No.1 hits such as Elvis Presley's "Teddy Bear," Bobby Rydell's "Wild One", and Chubby Checker's "Let's Twist Again."
Mann and Lowe teamed up to form Cameo-Parkway Records in 1956.
Kal Mann died in 2001 from Alzheimer's disease.
