And I felt in a certain way that I had succeeded. I'm very proud of this song. But it was also because it was not only a passionate moment in the play, but I was aware that it was a passionate moment where the lovers themselves, a la Romeo and Juliet, were really leaping over a great hurdle in They weren't aware of it, or they were.

I mean, nobody talks about that kind of thing in one way, but they leaped this hurdle. And so the song was a very important one for me where they were both finally able to express their passion as two people for each other.

Sure. I did have a real sense, particularly towards the end of our run after. No, it was before he went to London with the show. We both marched in Selma and I think we were both drunk and we kind of got to know one another. I learned a lot about Sammy and his time in the U.S. Army where he was pummeled and other soldiers urinated on him. He had in him a great, great deal of suffering.

Well, we played the songs, and invariably, Sammy was late. Lee Adams, in particular, was not a late owl. And he would say, I'll meet you after the show at 1 in the morning. And we would be lucky sometimes if he got there at 2.30. And then we would play the songs in front of the chorus girls. He was constantly partying, Sammy. And we would play these songs in that atmosphere all the time.

And I must tell you, at that point in our lives, we were very timid, particularly me. And I was the one that was playing it and singing them. So we did that. He would go out and play eight, nine holes of golf or something. And then we would meet him in the steam room to discuss a scene. And the first time I met him, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and that whole bunch.

I think Joey Bishop was there too. We were all naked, which is an odd thing to add to my composer's resume, but there were all kinds of odd incidents like that.
