Susan Benjamin, Musical Biographer
Immensely talented, Jule Styne composed the scores for Gypsy, Bells are Ringing, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Funny Girl, in addition to hundreds of other popular songs. All told, he wrote about 1400 melodies, many of which are still often heard today. However, his compulsive gambling compromised his personal life, as he ran from keyboard to the racetrack. When asked about who could best compose for their voices and styles, both Ethel Merman and Frank Sinatra insisted, “Get me Jule Styne.” This program demonstrates why Ethel, Frank, and many others thought that Jule's work could lead to outstanding entertainment.
