“Frank Loesser could write authoritatively in virtually any style and, frankly, did,” noted composer-lyricist Maury Yeston. A genius melodist and lyricist, Loesser uniquely rhymed “pelts” with “else” in “Take Back Your Mink” and “India” with “been to ya” in “They’re Either Too Young or Too Old,” showcasing a blend of intellect and heart. Renowned as one of Broadway's most versatile composers, he crafted five enduring musicals, including Guys and Dolls (which earned him his first Tony Award), The Most Happy Fella, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (for which he won both the Tony and the Pulitzer Prize). Before his Broadway success, Loesser was celebrated for his Hollywood hits, including the Oscar-winning “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and wartime favorite “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.” Robert Kimball and Steve Nelson have compiled lyrics from rare recordings, Loesser's personal files, and various film studio archives. This collection also features photographs of stars like Bob Hope and Marlene Dietrich, who popularized his songs. Their extensive research has uncovered many previously “lost” lyrics, allowing for a deeper appreciation of Frank Loesser’s extraordinary talent.
