		When Strouse graduated from the Eastman School of Music he intended to make a career in the classical field, and studied for a time with Aaron Copland.
		As for Strouse and Adams' shows, "All American" (1962), a musical about college football, failed to score heavily, but "Golden Boy" (1964) lasted for 569 performances on the sheer strength of Sammy Davis Jr.'s appeal.
		It was four years before Strouse and Adams took off again with "Applause," their second big hit, which ran for over two years, and, like "Golden Boy," had a gilt-edged box office star in Lauren Bacall.

		This one was devoted to Charles Strouse and Arthur Schwartz.
		Charles Strouse sure can write show tunes (Bye Bye Birdie was his first show on Broadway) but he is more of a shouter than a singer.
		Charles Strouse had played some tunes on that DVD that I had never heard before and instantly fell in love with ("Once Upon A Time" from the show All American starring Ray Bolger) so I was kinda disappointed in this CD.

	Theatre Mirror Reviews - "You Never Know" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Strouse’s canon includes such popular classics as BYE, BYE BIRDIE and ANNIE, and his MARTY which premiered at the Huntington three years ago was a perfectly respectable work-in-progress (where is it now?); sadly, YOU NEVER KNOW is a disappointment despite thunderous applause on the night I attended.
		Strouse and his co-librettist Rinne Groff put some down-to-earth heart into YOU NEVER KNOW rather than endless cleverness; whether they are aiming for Something New or keeping one jump ahead of today’s anti-musical audiences, Mr.
		Strouse supplies some nice, fleeting tunes, to his credit, but I’ll be damned if I can hum any for you.
