Lerner and Loewe are the duo of lyricist and librettist Alan Jay LernerFrederick Loewe,
known
primarily for the music and lyrics of some of Broadway's most successful
musical
shows, including My Fair
Lady, Camelot,
and Brigadoon. and composer
Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe,

more commonly known as Fritz, met in 1942 at the Lambs
Club in New York City^[1] where,
according to
Loewe, he mistakenly took a wrong turn to the men's room and walked past

Lerner's table. Having recognized him, he asked if Lerner wrote lyrics
and
Lerner confirmed Loewe's question.
Lerner claimed to be the more dominant one of partnership, which is
supported
by interviews with their close friends, saying that he would throw out
the first
two melodies that Loewe would write to any song even if they were both
perfect.
He said he always knew, with a little pushing, Loewe was capable of
greater
work. Loewe also worked perfectly with Lerner, who would agonize for
weeks over
a lyric. Unlike other collaborators Lerner would work with, Loewe was
the most
understanding of the time Lerner needed for his lyrics and would never
pressure
him to complete the work.
Their dynamic partnership is somewhat of a mystery as it is not clear
as to
why they would end their collaboration only to begin again (until The
Little Prince, their last work together). After Brigadoon,
their first major success, Loewe was
heard telling his close friends that, as long as he lived, he would
never work
with Lerner again. But they did work together again, reaching the
pinnacle of
their partnership with My
Fair Lady. Strangely, they only got to work on the adaption of Pygmalion
(play) (on
which My Fair Lady is based) after Noel
Coward and Rodgers and
Hammerstein had passed it up. Again, for unknown reasons, their
partnership
grew frazzled as they were knee deep in work with Camelot.
After
Camelot, Fritz Loewe retired and swore he would never write
another
note.
Their last collaboration came with the 1974 musical
film, The
Little Prince, which received mixed reviews but was lauded as
one of the
team's most cerebral scores.
Regardless of their professional relationship, Lerner and Loewe were
close
friends and remained so until the end of their lives. Their final public

appearance was in December 1985, when they received a Kennedy
Center Honor, six months before Lerner's death.
Lerner said this of Loewe:

“There will never be another Fritz. Writing will never again be as
much fun.
A collaboration as intense as ours inescapably had to be complex. But I
loved
him more than I understood or misunderstood him, and I know he loved me
more
than he understood or misunderstood me.”
