	USATODAY.com - Harold Arlen: A centennial salute to a sultan of song (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

		Arlen remains a favorite of artists with blues and jazz leanings, from Broadway star Tonya Pinkins, who pays homage to him later this month as part of Lincoln Center's "American Songbook" series, to guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli, now leading a Harold Arlen Symphony Tour.
		Arlen could write very easily in the kind of traditional showbiz style that may now look clichéd, but he was always able to put in a lift or trick or unusual turn of phrase that would make a melody stand out.
