A series in which some of the greatest popular songwriters of the century talk about their life and work.
This week: Irving Berlin
PETER CLAYTON introduces the man and his music, whose compositions include:
There's No Business Like Show Business; Cheek to Cheek; A Couple of Swells; Isn't it a Lovely Day; Do it Again; They Say it's Wonderful.
I I could mention several more songs that I would give equal billing to: Alexander's Ragtime Band; Always; All Alone. Blue Skies; Easter Parade; White Christmas, and several others - there is no particular song. The moment they become big hits they become my favourites.'
