A Bushel And A Peck (Frank Loesser, 1950)
The song was introduced in the Broadway musical "Guys and Dolls," which opened at the 46th Street Theater on November 24, 1950. It was performed on stage by Vivian Blaine, who later reprised her role as Miss Adelaide in the 1955 film version of the play. "A Bushel and a Peck," however, was omitted from the film, and instead replaced by a new song, titled "Pet Me, Poppa." A popular recording by Perry Como and Betty Hutton peaked at #6 on the Billboard magazine charts. A Bushel And A Peck, Wikipedia.

A Hard Day's Night (John Lennon & Paul McCartney, 1964)
The song's title and the title of the film originated from something said by Ringo Starr, the Beatles' drummer. Starr described it this way in a 1964 interview:
     "We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day …' and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '… night!' So we came to 'A Hard Day's Night.'"
In a 1980 interview, Lennon said that "it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those malapropisms. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny … just said it."
The song - with its distinctive opening chord, described as an Fadd9 (F - A - C - G) plus a G "Power" Chord (G - D) and a bass D - featured prominently on the soundtrack to the Beatles' first feature film, "A Hard Day's Night," and on their album of the same name, the group's third studio album. The song simultaneously topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and United States when it was released as a single, the first time any artist had accomplished this feat.
In contrast to the Beatles' first two albums, all 13 tracks on "A Hard Day's Night" were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, showcasing the development of their songwriting partnership. Several of the songs feature George Harrison playing a Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar, a sound that was influential on the Byrds and other groups in the folk rock movement.
The 1964 musical comedy film was released during the height of Beatlemania, and portrays 36 hours in the lives of the group. The film was a financial and critical success. Forty years after its release, Time magazine rated it as one of the 100 all-time great films. It is credited as being one of the most influential of all musical films, inspiring numerous spy films, the Monkees' television show and pop music videos.

I Walk The Line (Johnny Cash, 1956)
A song that talks about marital fidelity, personal responsibility, and avoiding temptation and criminal behavior. In an interview, Cash stated, “I wrote the song backstage one night in 1956 in Gladewater, Texas. I was newly married at the time, and I suppose I was laying out my pledge of devotion." The unique chord progression for the song was inspired by backwards playback of guitar runs on Cash's tape recorder while he was in the Air Force stationed in Germany. While performing the song on his TV show, Cash told the audience, with a smile, "People ask me why I always hum whenever I sing this song. It's to get my pitch." The humming was necessary since the song required Cash to change keys several times while singing it. "Walk The Line" is a 2005 biopic of Cash starring Joaquin Phoenix.

If I Were A Rich Man (Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, 1964)
A show tune from the 1964 Broadway musical "Fiddler on the Roof," it is performed by Tevye, the main character in the musical, and reflects his dreams of glory. The title is inspired by a 1902 monologue by Sholem Aleichem in Yiddish, Ven ikh bin Rothschild (If I were a Rothschild), a reference to the wealth of the Rothschild family, although the content is quite different. The lyric is based in part on passages from Sholem Aleichem’s 1899 short story "The Bubble Bursts." Both stories appeared in English in the 1949 collection of stories Tevye's Daughters. Tevye was portrayed by Zero Mostel in the original 1964 Broadway play (the first musical theatre run in history to surpass 3,000 performances) and by Chaim Topol in the 1971 motion picture.

I'll Never Fall In Love Again (Burt Bacharach & Hal David, 1968)
Written for the 1968 musical "Promises, Promises," several recordings of the song were released in 1969, the most popular of which was by Dionne Warwick. In the fall of 1968, Bacharach and David were asked by producer David Merrick to write the score for his new musical.
But while Bacharach was soon hospitalized with pneumonia and wasn't able to write the music, the hospitalization inspired Hal David to write: 'What do you get when you kiss a girl? / You get enough germs to catch pneumonia / After you do, she'll never phone you.' After his release from the hospital, Bacharach recalls, "I wrote the melody for 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' faster than I had ever written any song in my life." It became the outstanding hit from the score and "pretty much stopped the show every night." On Broadway, the song was sung by Jill O'Hara and Jerry Orbach. I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Wikipedia.

Memory (Andrew Lloyd Webber & Trevor Nunn, 1981) (C)
Based on the T. S. Eliot poem "Rhapsody on a Windy Night", it was written for the 1981 musical "Cats," where it is sung primarily by the character Grizabella as a melancholic remembrance of her glamorous past and as a plea for acceptance. "Memory" is the climax of the musical and by far its best-known song, having achieved mainstream success outside of the musical. According to musicologist Jessica Sternfeld, it is "by some estimations the most successful song ever from a musical." Elaine Paige originated the role of Grizabella in the West End production of Cats, and was thus the first to perform the song publicly on stage. "Memory" was named the Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the 1982 Ivor Novello Awards. In the 2019 film adaptation featuring Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella, Jemima's soprano part was given to Victoria the White Cat. "Cats" was based on a 1939 book of poems by T. S. Eliot, "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." Memory (Cats song), Wikipedia.
