Songwriter, composer, lothario, philanthropist and
half of the team that created the world famous
smash-hit musicals "The Pajama Game" and
"Damn Yankees" Richard Adler has been one of
America s most beloved and creative musical fig-
ures for over thirty-five years. Here, in his own
words, is his rich and rewarding life, an inspiring
tale of the highest highs and the lowest lows, a mar-
velous journey through the quicksilver theater
world and beyond that both defines and encom-
passes the golden age of the American musical
From his early days as a fledgling tunesmith
scribbling out songs in a $60-a-month studio and
pounding the pavements of Tin Pan Alley, to his
fateful encounter with the man who would have
been his life-long collaborator, Richard Adler re-
counts a career that has seen him weather four
marriages; the sudden death of his partner Jerry
Ross at twenty-nine; that of his son Christopher at
a similar age; his own winning battle with throat
cancer, and his concomitant spiritual awakening.
A moving memoir of deep-felt emotions, "You
Gotta Have Heart" recalls Richard Adler s personal
struggles and conflicts as well as his associations
with hundreds of the best-known and best-loved
luminaries in show business, among them Hal
Prince, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, Twyla Tharp,
Marlene Dietrich, Gwen Verdon, Carol Channing,
Mary Lasker, Carol Haney, ]ackBenny, Harry
Belafonte, Jimmy Durante, David Susskind, Cab
