Rudolf Friml Rose-Marie (Rose-Marie) 1924
Sigmund Romberg Stouthearted Men (THe New Moon) 1927
Jerome Kern Why Do I Love You? (Showboat) 1927
Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart
I could write a Book ((Pal Joey) 1940
To Keep my Love Alive (A Connecticut Yankee) 1927
With a Song in my Heart (Spring is Here) 1929
Falling in Love with Love (The Boys from Syracuse) 1938
Cole Porter
What is this thing called Love? (Wake up and Dream) 1929
I've got you under my skin (Born to Dance) 1936
