5.0 out of 5 stars A great discovery!!, May 3, 1999

This review is from: American Songbook Series (Audio CD)

Frank Loesser is known as one of the great American songwriters and would be rememberedif he had only written one show -- Guys and Dolls. This collection has many marvelous songs from other musicals. The song More I Cannot Wish You is worth the price of admission all by itself.

An anthology of marvelous recordings of terrific songs by a man who wrote in the vernacular for every lover of American Popular Song, what could be better? A bushel and a peck of such albums!
