Nathan Bonx

b.: May 1, 1900 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.)
d.: October 23, 1950 (Washington, District of Columbia, U.S.)

American lawyer and composer. Nat Bonx was an accomplished pianist and a classmate of songwriter and bandleader Moe Jaffe at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

In law school, Bonx and Jaffe co-wrote the song "Collegiate" as the theme song for their band, "Jaffe's Collegians." Recorded by Penn alumnus Victor.

In 1927, Bonx, Jaffe and Clay Boland contributed the song "Sweetest Little Girl" to the Shubert Brothers revue "Listen, Dearie." After that, Bonx focused on his law practice.

In 1941, though, Bonx teamed up once more with Frank Sinatra and became one of Sinatra's standards.
