Page "Alan Jay Lerner" Paragraph 2

Due to his injury, Lerner could not serve in World War II.

Instead he wrote radio scripts, including Your Hit Parade, until he was introduced to Austrian composer Frederick Loewe, who needed a partner, in 1942 at the Lamb's Club.

While at the Lamb's, he came upon Lorenz Hart, and he helped transform Lerner into his protege.
