Background notes
Archive material and source history
Jerome Kern wrote songs for Broadway musicals in the early 20th century. He worked with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II on shows like 'Show Boat,' which included songs such as 'Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man' and 'Cotton Blossom.' Kern's compositions often had a melodic sophistication that felt both intricate and accessible.
Some of his most enduring songs came from different collaborations. 'I Won't Dance' was written with lyricist Dorothy Fields for the 1935 musical 'Roberta.' 'All The Things You Are' and 'Yesterdays' are other examples of his work that have remained in the repertoire of singers and musicians long after their original productions.
Kern wrote hundreds of songs over his career. The songs themselves, rather than dramatic career narratives, are what have kept his name familiar.
