My friends and I bantered about this the other night: In your opinion, which songwriting duo (composer, lyricist) or songwriter's (composer/lyricist) songs from 20th-century musicals have held up best?
Songwriting duo:
Rodgers & Hart - I think they've held up the best out of any musical theatre songwriters. My Funny Valentine, The Lady is a Tramp, Bewitched, Where or When, Mountain Greenery, Falling in Love With Love, This Can't Be Love, I Could Write a Book, Manhattan, Ten Cents a Dance, Little Girl Blue, My Romance, A Ship Without a Sail, It Never Entered My Mind...
George & Ira Gershwin - The music they wrote together is some timeless. But Not For Me, Fascinating Rhythm, I Can't Get Started, Embraceable You, I Got Rhythm, How Long Has This Been Going On?, Someone to Watch Over Me, The Man I Love, I've Got a Crush on You...
Songwriter:
Sondheim? Herman? Hmmm...
