Johanna Allen in The Songs That Got Away

By ugc on May 14, 2014 in

Take a stroll to 1930’s Manhattan. Pull up a chair at the Cotton club. The music of Harold Arlen drifts in and reigns supreme…‘Stormy Weather, The Man that got Away, Blues in the Night, Get Happy, One for my baby, I got the World on a string, The Old Black Magic and the song that is etched into our hearts like no other… ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’.
From 1930 – 1970, Arlen contributed over 500 songs to popular music, wrote soundtracks to film and theatre sung by the most famous women of the time.
