THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK
JEROME KERN
CENTENNIAL SUMMER
Jerome composed his last film score, Centennial Summer, in 1946 where the songs were as resplendent as the story and characters were mediocre. His collaborators for lyrics included his old friend Oscar Hammerstein, Leo Robin, and E. Y. Yip Harburg.
ALL THROUGH THE DAY
This song was nominated for an Oscar. Hammerstein provided the lyrics. Franks version was only one of several that resided on the Hit Parade when the movie was released, and its an Axel Stordahl arrangement, full of sugary strings.

“sugary strings”
Yep...my pancreas hurts having to gin up enough insulin for that arrangement!
Still, Frankie’s voice and phrasing transcends it.
