Heart and Soul: The Life and Music of Frank Loesser
Heart and Soul: The Life & Music of Frank Loesser is the first-ever documentary profile of one of America's most accomplished composer/lyricists. Frank Loesser wrote the words and music for Broadway's "Guys & Dolls," "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," and "The Most Happy Fella," along with lyrics for motion pictures from the golden age of Hollywood musicals. His song titles - from "Luck Be a Lady" to "Heart and Soul," "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" - are part of our everyday language. One commentator calls him, "Cole Porter, without the martini in his hand."
