SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2021 / The ongoing controversy carries on during the 2021 awards season between Leo Robin Music and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce over the star awarded to Oscar-winning lyricist Leo Robin on the Hollywood Walk of Fame more than 30 years ago but never installed. The Hollywood Chamber abandoned its obligation to install the star awarded to Leo Robin by the 1990 Walk of Fame Committee.

a refrain of
the title of the jazz standard, composed by Ralph Rainger with lyrics by Leo Robin. Leo Robin would tell this story about the origins of the song: "One day Ralph Rainger came in and said, 'I hit on a little jingle tune, maybe you'll like it'. He started to play this thing, one of those kind of bouncy schottisches, and I said, 'Let me think about it', and as usual, I went out and started to walk around the Paramount lot. That was the way I used to concentrate during the day. When I came back, I said, 'Gee, I've got a great title' - no, I never said that, because I never thought any of those things were great. In fact, my dear wife used to say, if I had the Number One song on the Hit Parade - I would still say, 'Well, if they'd given me more time, I could have done it better'. So I just said, 'It's 'June in January'. Ralph said, 'You're crazy - 'June in January'?' ...Well, now, whenever the weather out here gets unusually hot in January, all the headlines use the phrase 'June-in-January weather'."
