Composer Harold Arlen wrote the music to many of the most memorable songs from the 1930’s and 40’s, including the entire score to the classic movie, The Wizard Of Oz. Although his name may not be as well known as those of his peers—Irving Berlin, Gershwin and Cole Porter—his music certainly is. Son of a canter in Buffalo, NY, Arlen’s career that brought him from New York City to Hollywood and back is filled with wonderful stories and of course wonderful songs, “I’ve Got The World On A String,” “Stormy Weather,” “If I Only Had A Brain,” “Happiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe,” and “Over The Rainbow.”
