| Abstract | Composer Harold Arlen has written some of the greatest and most popular American songs, favorites of singers and jazz musicians everywhere. This story of his life in show business with the likes of Judy Garland, Johnny Mercer, the Gershwins, and other legends of Hollywood and Broadway provides details about songs, shows, and lively times. IT should firmly position Arlen as a song writer the equal of Richard Rodgers and Irving Berlin. |
