10. The V.A.S. Music--and Robert Russell Bennett

Millions got fooled into thinking of Richard Rodgers as the "composer" of nearly 13 hours of Victory at Sea music. He really did only compose twelve 1-minute piano tunes, while the great musician Robert Russell Bennett "arranged" them to death while composing more than nine hours of the orchestra music himself. The new "Music for Victory at Sea" book finally tells the whole story----and I wish it had written decades ago, so the Greatest Generation would know the truth!
