Wiki: Charles G. Dawes 
Dawes was a self-taught pianist and composer. His 1912 composition Melody in A Major, became a well-known piano and violin piece,
and was played at many official functions as his signature tune.
It was transformed into a pop song (It's All In The Game) in 1951, when Carl Sigman added lyrics.
The song was a number one hit in 1958, for Tommy Edwards (Hatfield 1997: 360),
and has since become a pop standard recorded hundreds of times by artists including The Four Tops, Van Morrison, Cliff Richard, Nat "King" Cole, Brook Benton, Elton John, Barry Manilow, and Keith Jarrett. WIKI
