This was Ben Bagley's first compilation of the little-known songs of Broadway
composers, recorded in 1960. Bagley, who had a background assembling and
producing stage revues, conceived a kind of revue album, using four performers,
Dorothy
Loudon, Danny Meehan, Charlotte Rae, and Cy Young, to sing songs that
had been cut from shows written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in the
1920s and 1930s or, if used, long since forgotten. He began with the first
song from the team's first successful show, The Garrick
Gaieties in 1925, and demonstrated that Hart's wit and Rodgers' melodic
gifts were just as apparent in songs like "At the Roxy Music Hall"
and "I Blush" as they were in their more
famous compositions. The spirited performances gave life to songs that,
often through no fault of their own, happened to have been written for shows
that failed or scenes that were replaced. Theater buffs were delighted,
and Bagley went on to record dozens of follow-ups, including four more volumes
of Rodgers and Hart. The 1990 CD reissue added eight newly recorded songs,
all from the unsuccessful 1940 musical Higher and Higher,
performed by Ann Hampton Callaway, Arthur Siegel, and Sandy Stewart, among
them "It Never Entered My Mind" which
had gone on to become a standard.
