duaneiac Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 When people talk about the Great American Songbook, the names most likely to be discussed are Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, Rodgers & Hart (and sometimes Hammerstein II) with perhaps a nod to Kern, Arlen and Carmichael. Frank Loesser, I fear, is too often easily overlooked. His career evolved over time, beginning as a lyricist working with other composers (as on the first 4 tracks on this disc as well as on such WW II homefront gems not included here like "I Don't Want To Walk Without You" and "They're Either Too Young Or Too Old"). His breakthrough moment as a composer & lyricist came with the WW II rallying cry "Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition" and it was in the post-war period that he really came into his own as a songwriter. His biggest artistic success was probably Guys And Dolls (represented by 4 song on this disc although, surprisingly, not the title number or "Luck Be A Lady"), but he also had major Broadway success with Most Happy Fella and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. This CD is a good sampling of his music and makes a strong case for his inclusion among the very top rank of GAS songwriters. Quote
