Steve Stone and the Emerald City Jazz Kings return to the Florence Events Center on Friday, February 3, for their second concert in the 2011-12 season. Pick Yourself Up: The Songs of Dorothy Fields is a tribute to the 50-year career of this talented songwriter.
Dorothy Fields was the only woman to achieve major success as a songwriter during the golden age of the American popular song. She began her career in the 1920s, and for more than fifty years she was virtually alone among the famous male composers of the period.
Fields was strictly a lyricist but she created the words for some of the most famous songs by Jimmie McHugh; Jerome Kern; Harold Arlen; Arthur Schwartz and Cy Coleman. From her first two years came two masterpieces - "I Can't Give you Anything But Love" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" that by themselves would guarantee her a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame although there were many more; some 400 in all. Look for "A Fine Romance" - "Hooray for Love" - I'm in the Mood for Love" - "You Couldn't be Cuter" - "I Can't Give You Anything but Love Baby" and 'Pick Yourself Up" among many other classics!!
