ABOUT FRANK LOESSER

He was born on June 29 in 1910 in New York City. Frank Loesser wanted towrite songs and nothing could stop him. Bypassing formal musical training, hestarted improvising on the piano at the age of six and then composing on aharmonica, taking a third prize in a harmonica contest. Extraordinarily, Loesserwas a serious musician and a Bach scholar and had, as well, an overwhelming fundof knowledge of art, literature, philosophy and the mortise-and-tenon constructionof 16th century cabinetry. He also expressed in both his work and his life theessence of the American musical theater. Because his attitude towards life was socontemporary, realistic and energetic, he did not permit nostalgia to enter into hisvocabulary and today, his creative genius and relevance are as vital as ever.

And such energy! He rocked Broadway, Hollywood and the rest of the worldwith his music-from the Runyonesque big-city exuberance of "Guys & Dolls" and"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" to the romantic Lyricism of"The Most Happy Fella" and "Greenwillow" and the gay vitality of "Where'sCharley?" and "Hans Christian Andersen".

All of this activity was apart from a personal life centered around his family. In1959, he married soprano Jo Sullivan, who starred in many Broadway musicals. Hewas the proud father of four children. Hannah and Emily with his last wife, Jo,and Susan and John from his earlier marriage to the former Lynn Garland.

Although Frank Loesser died in July of 1969, he left us the fruits of an undyingspirit and vitality caught in his music and lyrics for the over fifteen hundred songsthat he wrote. He was and is a man for our times.
