began his professional career with lyricist Lorenz Hart. Among their greatest musicals: On Your Toes, Babes In Arms, The Boys From Syracuse, and Pal Joey. In 1942, Rodgers joined forces with lyricist and author Oscar Hammerstein II; their 17-year partnership, the most successful in Broadway history, yielded Oklahoma!, Carousel, the movie musical State Fair, Allegro, South Pacific, The King and I, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream, the TV musical Cinderella, Flower Drum Song, and The Sound of Music. Following Hammerstein's death in 1960, Rodgers continued to write for the Broadway stage. His first solo entry, No Strings, earned him two Tony Awards for music and lyrics, and was followed by Do I Hear A Waltz?
