 Alan Jay Lerner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lerner and Loewe's next work was the film musical hit Gigi.
Yet the only thing most remember about Lerner are his lyrics, among the most literate and passionate in 20th century popular music.
He had also written with Kurt Weill (the stage musical Love Life) and Burton Lane (the movie musical Royal Wedding).

Lerner won one of the film's nine Oscars for his screenplay, and another, with Loewe, for the title song.
Lerner won a Grammy award for the title song, and maintained that it was his most frequently recorded number.
In 1958 Lerner was back in Hollywood, with a somewhat reluctant Loewe, for one of the last original screen musicals, the charming Gigi.

 Songwriters Hall of Fame
Adapted by Lerner from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalian, if the musical loses much of Shaw's ferocity and fire, it makes up for that with a warmth and sophistication that has made My Fair Lady one of the best-loved, as well as one of the greatest, of all musicals.
From the start of their partnership, Lerner wrote the books of the shows as well as the lyrics.
This show was notable for a gorgeous title song, and also "Come Back To Me".

 Amazon.com: Books: Alan Jay Lerner: A Biography
Jablonski charts Lerner's slow rise in the theater world, from college shows to early flops to first glimmers of success, with the passion of a true lover of the American musical.
Alas, he spends too much time thereafter recounting in tedious detail the plots of Lerner's shows and not enough time unraveling the mystery of Lerner's wonderful songs or the mystery of his melancholy life.
Jablonski (George Gershwin) dutifully recounts the progress of each of Lerner's theatrical ventures but fails to shed much light on the talent behind some of America's greatest lyrics and screenplays.

 Amazon.com: Books: The Wordsmiths: Oscar Hammerstein 2nd and Alan Jay Lerner (The Great Songwriters Series)
Incomparable and unique in their ability to write both libretti and lyrics, Oscar Hammerstein and Alan Jay Lerner brought the musical theater to an artistic peak that remains unsurpassed.
Along the way, we meet the century's greatest composers, actors, and actresses--including George Gershwin and Kurt Weill, Mary Martin and Rex Harrison--whose transcendent melodies and showstopping performances combined with Hammerstein's and Lerner's words to leave an indelible mark on one of America's greatest contributions to twentieth-century popular art--its musical theater.
We learn how Hammerstein and composer Richard Rodgers first wrote musicals together as undergraduates at Columbia, then parted company for twenty years before reuniting to produce one smash hit after another.

 Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Alan Jay Lerner PBS
Through a career that spanned three decades, lyricist/librettist Alan Jay Lerner and his partner, composer Frederick Loewe, became virtually synonymous with the blockbuster Broadway musical.
In the 1970s, after Loewe fell ill, Lerner continued writing with composers including Andre Previn and Charles Strouse, but such subsequent musicals as "Coco" and "Dance a Little Closer" never quite caught on with critics and playgoers.
Brooks Atkinson of THE NEW YORK TIMES, for one, proclaimed "My Fair Lady" as "the most civilized play of its time and one of the finest of the century." On the occasion of Lerner's death, William A. Henry III of TIME remembered how these classic lyrics "consistently matched ["Pygmalion"'s] wit, verve and acerbic class consciousness."
