Happy Birthday Richard Rodgers!

On this day in 1902, the American composer Richard Rodgers was born. Rodgers, along with his lyricists Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II, wrote some of the most iconic songs of the 20th Century, for Broadway, movies and television. In honor of his 109th Birthday, today's program on gullar sahir's Main stream features his music as well as other music from Broadway and some of his contemporaries such as George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Johnny Mercer.
