The Broadway wunderking with a lotta heart.

In the mid-1950s no one on Broadway was hotter than the team of Adler and Ross. Composer Richard Adler and lyricist Jerry Ross produced back to back Broadway hits TPe Pajama Game and Damn Yankees, featuring songs that would remain popular for decades.

But Ross died suddenly in 1955, taking Adler's career in new and unexpected directions.

Adler looks back on his up-and-down career in this 1990 interview.
