JULE STYNE made Broadway sing for 50 years as the composer of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes; Peter Pan; Bells Are Ringing; Funny Girl; Hallelujah, Baby!; and Gypsy. He developed his feel for popular music working with the jazz bands of 1920's Chicago and as vocal coach to such Hollywood stars as Shirley Temple and Alice Faye. With lyricist Sammy Cahn, he created a string of hit songs including "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" and the Oscar-winning "Three Coins in the Fountain." His theatre collaborations with Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Merrill, Leo Robin and E.Y. Harburg resulted in such Broadway showstoppers as "The Party's Over," "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "People" and "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." Jule Styne was elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1972, the Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981 and became a Kennedy Center Honoree in 1990.
