| Hey, Adam. Well, Very Warm for May was produced in 1939, after Show Boat, Porgy and Bess (a special case perhaps) and Anything Goes, and songs from all of those are on the list. If Oklahoma! is counted as the advent of the integrated musical (which is in at least some degree of dispute), then "My Ship" and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" are also from shows before the advent of the integrated musical. But I would certainly not dispute that "All the Things You Are" is more famous as a stand-alone standard than as a song from a musical, but I think that might also be said of "My Ship" and perhaps "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered." Anyway, I do understand the reasoning. |
