Remembering Jule Styne on his birthday π
π· Murray Garrett, 1948
With his collaborator, Sammy Cahn.
"Frank's figured it out. He sings the words. The other fellers sing the notes. But we've already worked all that out: The words fit the notes. So sing the words."

Frank Sinatra sings Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne's beautiful "Time After Time" in It Happened in Brooklyn, 1947. It's always a treat to see Jimmy Durante. And the chap playing the piano for Frank off-camera? AndrΓ© Previn.
"I Fall in Love Too Easily" is one of my favourite Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn songs. They wrote it for Frank Sinatra to sing in Anchors Aweigh!, 1945. Nominated for an Oscar, it lost out to Rodgers & Hammerstein's "It Might as Well be Spring"

Jule Styne & Stephen Sondheim by Friedman-Abeles
@NYPL, 1959
Sondheim was hired to write both music & lyrics for Gypsy, but:
"Ethel Merman put her foot down & insisted on Styne. She must have thought, βLook what he did for Carol Channing & Judy Holliday'."
