Background music

People around the world are tapping their toes to American music.

Much of it comes from American television, musical comedies and movies.

The opening medley from Guys and Dolls is modelled on a Bach fugue. The score is by Frank Loesser. The movie stars Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons.

Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, and other well-known names have contributed.

Their works have contributed greatly to the global culture.

At least some of it isn't violent or obscene.
