My Place: Songwriters Jerry Ross And Richard Adler

Joel Najman
This week's 'My Place' spotlights the Ross/Adler songwriting duo.

Composers Jerry Ross and Richard Adler wrote the words and music of two of the most enduring Broadway musicals of the 1950's as well as a slew of other pop music hits of the pre-rock&roll 1950's. This week's My Place program spotlights the Ross/Adler songwriting partnership with memorable recordings by Tony Bennett, Doris Day, Sarah Vaughan and others.

Joel has been a part of Vermont's radio scene since 1964. He began his career at WIPS in Ticonderoga, New York. In 1965, he moved to WFAD in Middlebury, Vermont, where he attended Middlebury College. Over the years, Joel worked at radio stations WJOY, WQCR, WDOT, WDEV and WVAA where he served at various times as Morning Announcer, Program Director and News Director.
