Hope it was OK for little boys, too. Cause I sure played it, and I'm no girl. I liked it cause it had a rock 'n' roll feel to it. My parents were OK with it, because my sister was taking piano lessons too, and I'm sure they thought the duet was cute.

Without question, "Heart and Soul" is Hoagy Carmichael's most played (but not best) song, though almost everyone who has heard it played, or even played it, has no idea about the name of the song.

A very odd song, in that sense!


Among Hoagy's other songs are these two gems: "Skylark" and "(Up a) Lazy River".

The lyricist on the latter was the uncle Sidney of Wesley Dick, who has the incredible BiaB site:
