| The score of Golden Boy is terrific especially Night Song, This is the Life,While the City Sleeps. All American has Once Upon a Time, Nightlife and I'm Fascinating. Superman is lots of fun and has You've Got Possibilities. Even Nick and Nora has a couple of breezy numbers. | |

| I love ''Once Upon a Time'' and ''You've Got Possibilities,'' too. But don't overlook ''Dance a Little Closer,'' a musical of Robert E. Sherwood's ''Idiot's Delight.'' It opened and closed on May 11, 1983. Wags called it ''Close a Little Faster.'' But the title tune is lovely, and so is ''There's Always One You Can't Forget.'' Brent Barrett, who was in the show, put the latter on his 2002 ''Alan Jay Lerner Album,'' and does a rich and robust recording of it. | |

| I saw Dance a Little Closer in previews and enjoyed it and was surprised it closed so fast. | |

| I've always loved "No Man Is Worth It' from DANCE A LITTLE CLOSER. It's a howl of frustration from a woman who's reached her limit with being treated poorly by men. I did a Strouse cabaret many years ago and this number was done as a trio and was a huge hit with audiences. | |

| Let's not forget the beautiful romantic ballad, so simple in its message "I Want to Be with You" sung by Sammy Davis, Jr. and Paula Wayne. Whenever it is sung though, singers almost always sing it as "I Wanna Be with You." https://youtu.be/U82VJTdmxfA | |
