The third and final volume of British archival label Pearl's misnamed
The Ultimate Rodgers & Hart series covers the last several years
of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's songwriting partnership, starting
with their 1939 musical, Too Many Girls. The intention of the series
is to collect existing recordings of songs from the songwriters' shows
and movies as performed by the original cast members or film stars.
Since Rodgers & Hart broke up, and Hart died, just as the vogue
for original cast and soundtrack albums was beginning, these are usually
individual recordings that happen to have been made, and they are
necessarily incomplete. For example, there was no cast album of the
original 1940 production of Pal Joey, and hence no available recording
of Gene Kelly and Leila Ernst singing "I Could Write a Book"
to include here. The show is represented by a dialogue scene enacted
by Kelly and Martha Tilton on a 1945 radio broadcast. But while Marcy
Westcott of Too Many Girls never made a recording of the show's hit,
"I Didn't know what time it was"
Mary Jane Walsh, another cast member, did, and that leads off this
album. Nothing from 1938's unrecorded The Boys from Syracuse could
appear on the series' second volume, but the hit "This Can't
Be Love " was repeated in the
1940 London show Up and Doing, and cast member Patricia Burke's recording
turns up here. Shirley Ross of Higher and Higher did record that show's
hit, "It Never Entered My Mind
," so it is included. The album concludes with four familiar
Rodgers & Hart evergreens featured in films of the late '40s by
stars like Perry Como and Doris Day. But many of the selections are
forgotten gems, making this not so much an "ultimate" as
a rarities collection.
