Lerner and Loewe

Almost Like Being In Love
Brigadoon
Camelot
Come Back To Me
Come To Me, Bend To Me
Get Me To the Church On Time
Gigi
Go to Sleep
The Heather on the Hill
I Could Have Danced All Night
I Remember It Well
I Still See Elisa
I Talk to the Trees
I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean
I'm On My Way
I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face
If Ever I Would Leave You
Just You Wait, ‘Enry ‘Iggins
On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever)
On the Street Where You Live
Paint Your Wagon
The Rain In Spain
Show Me!
Thank Heavens For Little Girls
They Call the Wind Mariah
Waitin' For My Dearie
Wanderin' Star
With a Little Bit of Luck
Wouldn’t It Be Lovely?


In 1955, Lerner and Loewe were looking for an Eliza Doolittle for "My Fair Lady". In 1955, Mary Martin was the hottest thing on Broadway, so they invited her and her husband Richard, to hear the five songs they had written so far fr the show. Loewe played the piano and Lerner sang (he had a pretty good voice by the way!). Afterward, Mary Martin and her husband Richard left without saying a word.

Days later, Lerner called up Richard to see what they thought - did they like it? Would Mary consider being in the show? Richard reported that on the way home that night, his wife kept saying "how could it have happened? Those two dear boys have lost their talent." That remark sent Lerner into a 6-week case or writers block.

Alan Jay Lerner was scheduled to be the original lyricist for "Phantom of the Opera" with Andrew Lloyd Webber, but had to drop out due to his failing health.
