Gordon was born in Warsaw and moved to New York City as a child. He appeared as Vaudeville actor and singer in the late 20s and early 30s but his songwriting talents were always paramount. He formed a partnership with English Pianist Harry Revel that lasted throughout the 1930s. In the 1940s he worked with a string of other composers including Harry Warren .

The Internet Movie Database states that Gordon's songs have been used in the soundtrack of over 100 films, Gordon writing specifically for at least 50 of them. His catalogue includes more than 120 songs and thus is perhaps no surprise that his exhibit in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame say he is "arguably one of the most successful lyricists to write for the screen".
