Frida Sarsen Bucky (1883-1974), author, lyricist, composer and member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) was born in Berlin. A prodigy, she began to compose and write at the age of seven. Her song/storybook Hello, I’m Adeline (1946) was a bestseller. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were patrons, and FDR’s terrier stars in Bucky’s song/story book Fala (1946). Works from Bucky’s song cycle The Blessing became part of Marian Anderson’s repertoire in the 1940s. It was on a visit to Anderson’s Marianna Farm that Bucky encountered Snoopy Cat, and their shared love for that “little black kitten” resulted in their collaboration for Folkways Records, Snoopycat: The Adventures of Marian Anderson’s cat “Snoopy” (1963). Frida Bucky and her spouse, Dr. Gustav Bucky, radiologist, were also friends of Albert Einstein.
