...Eyes and Who? continue to be sung in city parks and shower stalls by folks who neither know nor care what musical produced the tunes. Yet Kern realized better than anyone else that the melodic drama in so many of his songs -- of which the majestic cresting chorus of Ol' Man River is the most famous example -- demanded a dramatic anchor only the lyric theater could provide.
