American Popular Song: The John Pizzarelli Trio Continues.
We continue the rebroadcasts of our series on American Popular Song. . .with part 2 of our profile of Harry Warren (1893-1981), a successful but little known songwriter who produced a number of hits during the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Today, we focus on Warren’s songs of the 40’s and 50’s, including some of the most popular love ballads of the world war two years, one of Dean Martin’s biggest hits, and the theme for TV western. Warren dreamed of writing for Broadway, but instead migrated west and became one of Hollywood's most prolific songwriters. (ORIGINAL BROADCAST: MAY 25, 1999) First, we feature The John Pizzarelli Trio discussing and performing several of Harry Warren's songs. The trio is John Pizzarelli, guitar and vocals, his brother Martin Pizzarelli bass; and Ray Kennedy, piano. (Rebroadcast of 5/25/99)
