"Paul Vance" is an United States/American songwriter and record producer.

With over 300 recorded songs, Vance co-wrote such hit record/hits as "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," recorded in 1960 by Brian Hyland, which rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100/Billboard Hot 100 record chart/chart, and "Catch a Falling Star," recorded in 1957 by Perry Como, which was also a hit and became one of Como's signature songs. "What Will Mary Say", a Top 40/Top 10 hit for the singer Johnny Mathis in 1963, was written by Vance with Eddie Snyder. Vance got the idea for "Itsy Bitsy Bikini" because his daughter was too shy to wear a bikini in public. The song was a Top 10 hit in other countries around the world.

A stabbing is such a personal act that you just figure it has to be someone who knows him.

We're very, very shocked. This was a nice guy, a wonderful guy. You couldn't ask for a better neighbor.

I have no idea what would motivate anybody to hurt a guy like this.
