Barry Manilow presents a series looking at the art of songwriting.

This week features Rodgers and Hart's 'Babes in Arms' - a show that features five songs that became standards, including 'Where or When' and 'My Funny Valentine' but which has never been fully re-vived; 'Ballroom' which was written by Billy Goldenberg and the great lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman and nominated for eight Tony Awards; 'All American' which featured the first book Mel Brooks ever wrote for a musical and starred Ray Bolger (the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz); and 'Do Re Mi' written by the team who brought you 'Singing in the Rain' Betty Comden and Adolph Green and Jule Styne, who wrote the score to 'Gypsy' and 'Funny Girl' ... Don't you want to hear their lost songs??
