Once again, we offer up a bouquet of lesser-known love songs and even some comedy just for the occasion. And we'll start with this fun song, "Love is the Reason" from the 1951 musical A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, with a score by Arthur Schwartz and the wonderful Dorothy Fields. It's performed by the also-wonderful Shirley Booth.
And we'll add in another song, the comedy number "I Love You," this from Little Me, a show that got 10 Tony nominations in 1962, including one for Sid Caesar as Best Actor who played eight different roles in the show and sings the number here, along with Virginia Martin. The score is by Cy Coleman and lyricist Carolyn Leigh (who wrote several of the lyrics in Peter Pan).
