This detail is from a poster from the musical, "Guys and Dolls," which features music by composer Frank Loesser.

In a career that extended some 40 years, composer and lyricist Frank Loesser provided original songs for over 60 Hollywood motion pictures as well as many musical stage productions, including Broadway's classic, "Guys And Dolls."

This week on My Place, we'll celebrate the music of Loesser with memorable recordings of his songs by Frank Sinatra, Danny Kaye, Don Henley, and many others.
