The review said that Rodgers was a genius, which he was and that Lorenz Hart, or Larry as I think of him, was a talented amateur. ... Read More »

The Sweetest Sounds: Tribute to Rodgers & Hammerstein
The eyes had it. Or at least in one of the later photographs of Richard Rodgers, you could see the sadness . . . the losses. Rodgers and Hammerstein changed the face of Broadway.
