The Beatles only recorded 1 Broadway show tune: “Till There Was You,” from the musical The Music Man. Paul McCartney was introduced to the song via Peggy Lee’s 1961 cover version. He didn’t learn until much later that it was from a Broadway show.

Happy birthday to Meredith Willson, born on this day in 1902. He called his musical The Music Man, "an Iowan's attempt to pay tribute to his home state." It took him 8 years and 30 revisions to complete the musical, for which he wrote more than 40 songs!
