Loess(er) is More
Frank Loesser had a wonderful career in theater and film. Anyone who's a fan of Broadway musicals knows his music, if not his name. Here's my iTunes collection of his songs:
- Adelaide's Lament - Barbra Streisand; show - Guys and Dolls; album - The Broadway Album
- I've Never Been In Love Before - Linda Ronstadt; show - Guys and Dolls; album - Hummin' To Myself (note: written for Guys and Dolls but was cut from the show)
- I Believe In You - Robert Morse; show - How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; album - Best of Broadway
