Luigi Creatore, a songwriter and record producer who teamed with his cousin Hugo Peretti to create hits for Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Perry Como and others, died on Sunday in Boca Raton, Fla. He was 93. The cause was complications of pneumonia, said his wife, Claire Weiss Creatore.
The son of a renowned Italian immigrant bandmaster, Mr. Creatore began his career by writing advertising jingles and graduated to books, plays and, most notably, songs. His regular partner — they both wrote music as well as lyrics — was Mr. Peretti, who died in 1986; they were occasionally joined by George David Weiss, who died in 2010.
