Theatre Lyrics of P.G. Wodehouse featuring music by Jerome Kern
Various Artists
Composer Richard Rogers wrote, "Before Larry Hart, only P.G. Wodehouse had made any assault on the intelligence of the song-listening public." The prolific English novelist composed thirty-three musicals in the course of his career, and had five shows on Broadway at the same time in 1917! This collection presents some of Wodehouse's popular lyrics.
