Song of the Day: Lullaby of Broadway

The song of the day for Thursday, November 5, 2015 is “Lullaby of Broadway.”

About This Song

Today’s song, “Lullaby of Broadway,” was written in 1935 by Harry Warren and Al Dubin. It was introduced in the 1935 movie Gold Diggers of 1935; it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. It is one of the great show biz anthems. The 1980 musical 42nd Street featured Jerry Orbach singing the song; your author had the great honor of seeing him in the role during the Broadway run.
