Famed lyricist Dorothy Fields penned the words to more than four hundred songs,        among them mega-hits such as "e;On the Sunny Side of the Street,"e; "e;I Can't Give You        Anything But Love, "e; and "e;The Way You Look Tonight."e; In Pick Yourself Up, Charlotte        Greenspan offers the most complete treatment of Fields's life and work to date,        tracing her rise to prominence in a male-dominated world. Born in 1904 into a show        business family--her father, Lou Fields, was a famed stage comedian turned Broadway        producer--Fields first teamed with songwriter Jimmy McHugh in the late 1920s and        went on to a series of Hollywood collaborations with Jerome Kern, including the Fred        Astaire-Ginger Rogers classic Swing Time. With her brother Herbert, she co-authored        the books for several of Cole Porter's shows and for Irving Berlin's classic Annie        Get Your Gun. Fields's lyrics--colloquial, urbane, sometimes slangy, sometimes        sensuous--won her high praise from later generations of songwriters including        Stephen Sondheim, and her stellar career opened a path for other women in her        profession, among them Betty Comden and Dory Previn.
