In this program, listeners called in to request their favorite pieces from Hart’s career, including works from the Broadway classics THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE and ON YOUR TOES, as well as from the 1948 musical film WORDS AND MUSIC, which is based on Rodgers’ and Hart’s career together.

Featured songs: “He Was Too Good To Me,” “On Your Toes,” “This Can’t Be Love,” “To Keep My Love Alive,” “Sing For Your Supper,” “Nobody’s Heart,” and “Johnny One Note”.
