Rodgers and Hart were an American songwriting partnership between composer Richard Rodgers (1902–1979) and the lyricist Lorenz Hart (1895–1943). They worked together on 28 stage musicals and more than 500 songs from 1919 until Hart’s death in 1943.
Bobby Short and Rogers and Hart
Bobby Short is renowned for his exceptional interpretations of the Great American Songbook, including the works of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Known for his cabaret style, I have loved his music since childhood and saw him perform at the Carlyle so so many times.
Bobby’s performances are celebrated for their elegance and charm, often bringing a sophisticated and intimate feel to classic tunes. His ability to convey emotion and nuance in his renditions makes him a beloved figure in vocal jazz and traditional pop music. If you appreciate the timeless quality of Rodgers and Hart’s compositions, Bobby Short’s interpretations are unique and wonderful.
