Barry Manilow presents a series looking at the art of songwriting.

This week's forgotten shows are rich in plots and tunes! Barry brings us a rainmaker faker in '110 Degrees in the Shade'; a gangster who just wants to sing and dance in 'Legs Diamond', the gold prospecting West in 'Paint Your Wagon' and a sophisticated comedy of manners in 'The Gay Divorce'. Recovered songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones and Cole Porter.
