About Today

I realized yesterday that I had forgotten the anniversary of the birth of one of this numbers songwriters, Adolph Green, who was born on December 2, 2014. He had a long and productive writing career with his partner Betty Comden. Together they wrote lyrics for many Broadway musicals and also had a brilliant career in Hollywood, not the least of which was their screenplay for the movie Singin’ In The Rain. Many of the songs we all know and love, like this one or “Some Other Time” were written by Comden and Green.
