april in paris

A "Democracy Now!" special program dedicated to Yip Harburg (1896-1981), the man who put the rainbow in "The Wizard of Oz." Harburg wrote such hits as “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?,” "April in Paris" and "Over the Rainbow." His son, Ernie, tells of his father's early life, collaboration with the Gershwins, his Broadway days and blacklisting for his socialist beliefs. Watch the powerful story and hear the music of the lyricist who once wrote: "Songs have always been man's anodyne against tyranny and terror." "Democracy Now!" is a daily independent newshour.
