Deborah Grace Winer lists Reginald Forsythe as one of Dorothy Fields'
collaborators. In the songlist in the book, a song called Serenade
for a Wealthy Widow is attributed to Dorothy Fields, Reginald
Forsythe and Jimmy McHugh.
It seems that the song was originally an instrumental, to which Dorothy
subsequently wrote a lyric. Jimmy McHugh had nothing to do with the
song, and he receives credit simply for contractual reasons.
