Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart were introduced in 1919, when both were asked to write an amateur club show at Columbia University. After writing together for several years, they produced their first successful Broadway musical, The Garrick Gaieties, in 1925, which introduced their hit song, "Manhattan" and led to a series of successful musicals and films. They quickly became among the most popular songwriters in America, and from 1925 to 1931 had fifteen scores featured on Broadway.
