I really had to give that some thought. I think my favorite aspect of their music is the clever phrasing. Sometimes both the melody and the lyrics do something so unexpected that you just start humming that little part and it makes you feel so clever to have enjoyed it. That probably makes no sense but I know what I mean. Now, more coffee. Thanks

Lovely music and lyrics. I’m a sucker for a good love song. My Romance and Isn’t it Romantic are my favorites.

‘Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered’ Mimi, Blue Moon, My Funny Valentine and on and on. What’s not to love about Rodgers and Hart? Their lyrics and music simply make me and others HAPPY! Listening to Ella and Frank singing R&H standards is pure joy! Ahhh!
