The choice of composer\/lyricist Jerry Herman to do the score was obvious; Herman had just scored a hit with \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHello, Dolly!\u003c\/span\u003e, another period story of an eccentric, larger than life female character. And everything else went well, too, including the felicitous casting of Angela Lansbury and a smooth out-of-town tryout period. By opening night, May 24, 1966, Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong had reached the charts with single recordings of the title song (which is self-consciously similar to the \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHello, Dolly!\u003c\/span\u003e title song), and Eydie Gormé has covered the torchy ballad \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIf He Walked into My Life\u003c\/span\u003e, which works equally well as a romantic lament as it does, in the show, as Mame's self-recrimination over the loss of her adopted son. Herman's score hasn't a weak song, and it has some very strong ones, not only those already mentioned, but also \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWe Need a Little Christmas\u003c\/span\u003e, soon to be a seasonal standard. Add a cast headed by Lansbury, Frankie Michaels, and Beatrice Arthur, and you have the makings of a terrific cast album, which this is.
