2010 marks the centennial of Frank Loesser's birth. Loesser started out as a lyricist who used to write dummy tunes to illustrate his words. He wrote lyrics in Hollywood for Hoagy Carmichael (Heart and Soul) and Jule Styne (I Don't Want to Walk Without You). In WW II he found his own musical voice with Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammunition (1942) and capped his long string of subsequent successes with an Academy Award for Baby, It's Cold Outside in 1948. Loesser's distinctive Broadway musicals, Where's Charley? (1948), Guys and Dolls (1950), The Most Happy Fella (1956), and How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1961) remain popular in revivals today.
