I agree with most of your assessment and would add that the old guard had suffered one failure after another during the time when Herman was riding high with two smash hits that contained songs that played endlessly on the radio and TV variety shows. The shows that toured and everyone wanted to do and in stock were Herman shows cheapened by aging stars.
I don't think the Dolly plagiarism suit really figured into things all that much and it wasn't all that unusual for a show to contain one or two songs that were written by others. In any event, "Elegance" really isn't an important hit song that Herman got credit for. |
