In August of 1943, Anita and Belle Einhorn began to register unpublished song copyrights together. In 1945 they finally got some of them published by Tin Pan Alley firms. They then came up with their pen names--Anita Leonard and Barbara Belle. Leonard's other collaborations included Evelyn Caroll, Chocky Fair (Charles B. Fair), and Marshall Barer.
