ANY PLACE I HANG MY HAT IS HOME and COME RAIN OR COME SHINE
Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer wrote a number of great songs for ST.Louis Woman set in ST Louis in its' vibrant African American community. Any Place I hang my hat is home describes the singers relaxed view of life while Come Rain or Come Shine is a pledge of permanent devotion. Both pieces are sung by Vanessa Williams who also starred in a revisited St. Louis Woman in NYC. She has a great affinity for the decidedly American folk idiom created by Arlen and Mercer.
