 Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Harold Rome | PBS
Rome was now much sought-after, although his next show displayed similarly political concerns.
This was "Sing out the News" (1939) and, once again, there was a universally accepted hit song, "F.D.R. Jones." In the early '40s Rome wrote songs for several revues and shows, but it was not until after the end of World War II that he had his first major success.
In the mid-'60s Rome showed that the social conscience that had marked his early work was still intact when he wrote "The Zulu and the Zayda" (1965), which dealt with racial and religious intolerance.

Harold Jacob ("Hecky") Rome was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on May 27, 1908.
Rome's return to civilian life was the theme for his next revue, Call Me Mister (1946), performed by former servicemen and servicewomen, among others.
In his book Show Tunes (1986), Steven Sushin describes Harold Rome's revues as having "sparkling comedy lyrics for everyday characters, set to bright and fresh music," and his musicals as having "rich, emotional scores." This accounts for the tremendous popularity of the shows and individual songs, as well as for their numerous performances and recordings.

 Pop - Pins and Needles [Original Cast Recording] Barbra Streisand/Harold Rome/Original Cast / CD / 1962
Harold Rome's musical revue Pins And Needles, staged by the Cultural Division of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in 1937, was an unusual mixture of Broadway show music style and '30s union content.
Twenty-five years later, Rome was back on Broadway with I Can Get It For You Wholesale, which inspired Columbia Records to make the first recording of his first show, using a simple piano/guitar/bass/drums backup.
Rome sang some of the songs himself, and he brought along a young Barbra Streisand, who was stopping the show as a featured performer in Wholesale.

 A Touch Of Rome, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
Rome first made a 10" album of songs from his current show, Fanny, playing piano and singing with accompaniment by bassist Jack Messing and drummer Herb Harris in 1954.
Rome, who frequently wrote for revues, could be extremely witty in such songs as "Military Life (The Jerk Song)" from Call Me Mister and "The Money Song" from That's the Ticket.
Listeners encountering his own versions of these songs for the first time on this compilation are bound to be reminded of one of his followers, Randy Newman, though Rome has a better and more expressive singing voice.

Harold Rome, an underrated composer, wrote his finest score for this somewhat forgotten musical, but it is really Dolores Gray who is the draw here.

Jewish melodies, klezmer, a bar mitzvah celebration, a Jewish mother singing "Eat a Little Something" - Harold Rome's music, in my opinion, enhances the Jewish-ness of the show better and more subtly than the score for the better-known and more-successful "Fiddler on the Roof," which would come two years later.
No, Harold Rome is no Irving Berlin or Cole Porter or Stephen Sondheim, but he is a far better writer of theatre music than he is given credit for.
I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE features an energetic score by Harold Rome, but is still best-remembered for being the Broadway debut of a promising young Brooklyn belter by the name of Barbra Streisand.
