Carmen Lombardo wrote the music to Powder Your Face With Sunshine, while the lyrics were penned by Stanley Rochinski, who sadly became a paraplegic during World War II. Lombardo received a certificate from the Disabled American Veterans of the World War in 1949 for meritorious and exceptional service in enriching the life of disabled veteran Stanley Rochinski, by co-authoring the popular hit song.
The songs popularity was revived in 1990 when it was used in the film LA Confidential.
