PLAYLIST FOR “TRIBUTE TO HAROLD ARLEN” (2.24.18)

Harold Arlen was born in February. I was not. But the differences don’t end there. He wrote more than 500 songs. I haven’t. And that’s not all. He’s dead and I’m not – hold on while I get a second opinion…

Most of these songs are losers, Oscar losers, that is. (Though none of the singers and musicians are.)
