They Left Their Hearts in San Francisco - The Lives of Songwriters George Cory and Douglass Cross (Paperback)

George Cory and Douglass Cross wrote just one song that was
successful. They were unknown before they wrote it, and unknown
after it became a hit. Until now. Their lives were a tangle: They
eked out a meager living, in San Francisco and Brooklyn, for
fifteen years before Tony Bennett serendipitously came across "I
Left My Heart in San Francisco," the song that had languished for
almost a decade. Bennett's recording revived his career, and made
the songwriters enormously rich. But wealth didn't beget happiness.
Cory and Cross broke up, Cross drank himself to death and Cory,
widely believed to be a suicide, died from drinking as well.
There's a statue in front of an iconic hotel in San Francisco that
honors the song. It's Tony Bennett's statue. Cory and Cross don't
even have a street sign.
