Seussical even existed.”
–Jason Zinoman, Time Out New York

內容簡介：
A huge gathering of the finest American and British song lyrics
來源：香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk from 1910 to 1975. Robert Kimball, editor of the complete lyrics of
Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, Lorenz Hart and next year''s Irving
Berlin, and Robert Gottlieb, editor of the recent Reading Jazz,
have collaborated to choose the 800 or more most distinguished
lyrics of the century, from early P.G. Wodehouse and the Irving
Berlin of Alexander''s Ragtime Band through the greats of Broadway
and Hollywood -- Gershwin, Hart, Porter, Berlin, Oscar Hammerstein,
Yip Harbourg, Dorothy Fields, Frank Loesser, Noel Coward -- to the
early triumphs of Stephen Sondheim. Plus many writers who are
barely remembered today -- Don Raye "Mr. Five by Five", "I''ll
Remember April", Bobby Troup "Route 66", "Daddy" -- with
surprises like Ogden Nash, Maxwell Anderson, Dorothy Parker, and
Truman Capote. Over 100 lyricists in all, each one introduced with
a brief biography and commentary, and presented chronologically, so
that this big volume not only presents the core of an entire
literature that we love, but will serve as a reference book and a
history of the lyric and the lyricist in the 20th century.
