Loesser made greater

Frank Loesser lived three musical lives, all nicely depicted in this video. Until WOrld War II he was solely a lyricist. Then during WWII, after the success of "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," for which he wrote words and music, he transitioned to his Broadways phase.
There for "Where's Charley," "Guys and Dolls," "Most Happy Fella," "Greenwillow," and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," he was composer, lyricist, and in several cases, wrote the storyline. All of this, plus his fascinating persona, emerges clearly here. October 10, 2007

Frank Loesser

I've been a great Frank Loeseer fan all my life and when I saw this on TV (I was not aware that a documentary on Frank Loesser existed) I knew I had to have this in my library. June 26, 2007
