According to the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, as soon as Weill came to the U.S., he wanted to write what he called “democratic” music: “...within an amazingly short time, Weill learned to write in the popular American style. In collaboration with some of the most sophisticated lyricists of the day, Weill produced a series of musicals for Broadway.” He worked with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, Ogden Nash, and Langston Hughes. His most famous song was Mack the Knife with lyrics by Berthold Brecht. It’s been called the first pop song about a villain, not a hero.
