I post this from another poster in Forgotten Musical talking about 110 in the Shade as BK is mentioned
Tom Jones wrote a feature story about it for Theatre Week back when the Ziemba revival was on. Well worth a read if you can find it. (A version of it is included in his book MAKING MUSICALS.) Incidentally, I met them about 20 years ago when I was hoping to do a revue of their work in London. Fishing for trunk material, I asked them if they had written a new song for 110 in London (knowing full well that they had.) Tom said "No, we didn't." Harvey said "Yes we did." Tom said "No, we didn't!" Harvey said, "Yes, and I was going to offer it to Bruce Kimmell." Tom said, "No, you're not!" Thern he finally explained that Emil Littler had insisted that every musical had to have a title song. "How do you write a song with THAT title?"
