Frank Loesser (Music and Lyrics), one of America’s great composer/lyricists, began his songwriting career during the Great Depression as a lyricist, contributing songs to Broadway revues and nightclub acts. His work with composer Irving Actman in the 1936 revue The Illustrator’s Show led to a songwriting contract in Hollywood, where he spent the next 11 years working with such composers as Burton Lane, Jule Styne, Arthur Schwartz, and Hoagy Carmichael. Some of his film songs from that period include “Two Sleepy People,” “Jingle Jangle Jingle,” and “I Don’t Want to Walk Without You.” The first song for which Mr. Loesser wrote both words and music was “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition,” written during his World War II service. His Hollywood work after the war included the hit songs “Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year,” “A Slow Boat to China,” and the 1949 Oscar-winning song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” In 1948 Mr. Loesser was approached by fledgling Broadway producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin to write music and lyrics to George Abbott’s libretto for an adaptation of the classic Brandon Thomas play Charley’s Aunt. The new musical, which starred Ray Bolger, was called Where’s Charley? and was a hit. This led to Mr. Loesser’s next show, the hugely influential and successful Guys and Dolls in 1950, also produced by Mr. Feuer and Mr. Martin, with a script by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling. In 1956 Mr. Loesser wrote the libretto, music, and lyrics for his next show, The Most Happy Fella, adapted from Sidney Howard’s play They Knew What They Wanted. This impressive score contains over 30 musical numbers and makes extensive use of operatic techniques and forms, including recitative, arias, duets, trios, and choral numbers. In 1960 Mr. Loesser provided the score and was co-librettist for Greenwillow. The next year he wrote the score for the Pulitzer Prize-winning How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. His last show, Pleasures and Palaces, closed in 1965 during out-of-town tryouts. frankloesser.com.
