[ # ] AP makes a boo boo: Paul Vance not dead
September 27th, 2006 under Celeb Oops

In a Sept. 26 story about the death of Paul Van Valkenburgh, The Associated Press, relying on information from his wife, erroneously reported that he was co-writer of the 1960 hit song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" under the name Paul Vance. The American Society for Composers, Authors and Publishers credits Paul Vance, 76, of Westbury, N.Y., and Lee Pockriss of Bridgewater, Conn., with writing the song. Van Valkenburgh was 68 and resided in Ormond Beach, Fla.
