Synopsis
"Frank Loesser could write authoritatively in virtually any style and, frankly, did," observed composer-lyricist Maury Yeston. "A genius melodist and a supergenius lyricist, only he would ever rhyme 'pelts' with 'else' ["Take Back Your Mink"] or 'India' with 'been to ya' ["They're Either Too Young or Too Old"] while simultaneously combining a crackling intellect with a heart as big as the moon." Frank Loesserwho, like Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, wrote both music and lyrics for his showshas been called the most versatile of Broadway composers. His five musicals are among Broadway's most creative and enduring achievements: Where's Charley?, Guys and Dolls (for which he won his first Tony Award), The Most Happy Fella, Greenwillow, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (for which he won both the Tony and the Pulitzer Prize). But well before Loesser wrote his first show, he was known to America for the song hits of his Hollywood career, including the Oscar-winning "Baby, It's Cold Outside," "On a Slow Boat to China," "Two Sleepy People," "Heart and Soul," "I Don't Want to Walk Without You," and "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year," as well as the wartime hit "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition." Robert Kimball and Steve Nelson have gathered lyrics from such varied sources as rare private recordings, the personal files of Frank Loesser, and the archives of various film studios. Here, too, are photographs of the stars who helped make Loesser's songs famous, such as Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Marlene Dietrich, Ray Bolger, and Betty Hutton. Kimball and Nelson's research has yielded many previously "lost" lyrics, making it possible for the first time to fully grasp the extent of Frank Loesser's extraordinary talent.

- 7***j (809)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
- k***o (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI ordered three items from this seller, and one was damaged in transit (the seller is not at fault for this). However the seller very quickly righted everything, communicating with me the entire time. The other two items were in perfect condition, arrived on time, and were exactly as described. They were very quick to fix what was wrong, and were very polite about the entire thing. I will be buying from them again in the future.
- f***f (467)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseReasonable price for a hardcover children's book, printed on quality, thick, glossy paper. No photo of item on listing, which was a bit lazy (even if it is a low-cost one). Packaging fine, mailed the following day, and postal costs included tracking. Arrived in good time, and with only minor cosmetic damage to the cover. Greatly appreciate it when sellers take the time to treat a low-cost order with care.
