"Harold Rome was a composer-lyricist on Broadway from 1937, starting with Pins and Needles, a revue for the ILGWU. His early career featured songs of "social significance," lyrics for the common man filled with satire. His later work featured songs well adapted to the book musicals of the day, and his words and music became more lyrical"-- Provided by publisher.
