Rodgers (1902-1979) collaborated with lyricists Lorenz Hart and later
Oscar Hammerstein II to produce dozens of America's most beloved popular songs
and many of its most successful musicals. Collaborations with Hart produced
such standards as With a Song in My Heart, The Lady Is a Tramp,
My Funny Valentine and Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.
After Hart's death (1943), Rodgers teamed up with Hammerstein to produce one
Broadway hit after another, including Oklahoma, South Pacific
(which won a Pulitzer Prize), The Sound of Music and The King and
I. Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch are the only two composers to win
an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Pulitzer. Two
