 | | Among Kern's songs from the period up to 1927 were "They Didn’t Believe Me”, which many consider the first modern ballad, written in 1914 with Herbert Reynolds; “Go Little Boat”, (1917, with P.G. Wodehouse); “Look For the Silver Lining” (1920, with lyrics by B.G. DeSylva). |
 | | In 1927, Kern teamed with Oscar Hammerstein II and the two adapted Edna Ferber's novel into one of the greatest of all American musicals: Show Boat. |
 | | Returning to Broadway in 1939, Kern helped produced his last show: Very Warm for May. While the show was not successful, the score introduced one of the classic Hammerstein-Kern standards, “All the Things You Are”. |
