WFIU Presents
Betty Comden: A Tribute
WFIU |
This
week on Afterglow we’ll honor the musical legacy of
songwriter Betty Comden, who passed away on November 23 at the age
of 89. Along with creative partner Adolph Green, Comden worked on
many successful musicals and movies of the 1940s and 1950s, including
On the Town, Singin’ in the Rain, Take Me
Out to the Ballgame, and Bells Are Ringing. Among the
songs that bear their stamp are “Some Other Time,” “Lucky
to Be Me,” “Make Someone Happy,” and “Lonely
Town.” We’ll hear recordings of those numbers and others
from Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Blossom Dearie, Peggy Lee, and
many more during the second hour of Afterglow this week.
