I remember standing in front of the Victrola in 1956 as an 11-year-old memorizing the song "Everybody's Got a Home ..." (the flip side of Dungaree Doll by Eddie Fisher) thinking that nobody loved me. People do -- and this song survives. How nice.
+Bill Hampton Yes. The lyrics have universal appeal. We can have physical homes to go to, but if we can't connect with the world, then we are in another sense "homeless." The melody is similar to 'You'll Never Walk Alone' from "Carousel."
Bill Hampton I was a teenager when that Eddie Fisher song came out. There are other songs from Pipe Dream on TH-cam. There's a jaunty song called "Sweet Thursday" sung by Helen Traubel.
One of the few R&H flops. I have the original album, RCA Victor. Fisher and Como, RCA artists, recorded some of the songs. There was a movie of Cannery Row which was not successful either, but which I saw recently on DVD & rather liked.
Those actors are talking hot air - the show is a stinker which bowdlerises Steinbeck's book - of course it sounds like Rogers and Hammerstein, the former was good at recycling sounds. Unheard gems my foot.
Rodgers and Hammerstein themselves stated that if any one other than them had written it it would have been a big success and I believe that, a lot of theatre goers at the time because of the material thought they were slumming it at Rodgers & Hammerstein shows as Rodgers had stated 'We do family shows' fortunately times have changed.
Don’t quite agree There is some good songs in the show okay it’s not in the gold category but even so I was very impressed with this productions cast recording
Clicked for Laura Osnes, didn't expect Josh Chan to be in the ensemble!

Yo. We're connecting. It ain't all bad.

YES
Another show in the same genre is "Subways Are for Sleeping."
+Roger Wilco - I actually saw Subways Are For Sleeping when it tried out in Philadelphia. Big musicals used to do that.
Its not that good of a show but honestly Laura Osnes sings like an angel I would listen to her sing just about anything

Well John Steinbeck himself enjoyed it!

As for the accusation of Rodgers recycling sounds how about LloydWebber never been a bigger magpie
