Wider influence

• In 1960, the gentle waltz "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music was adopted and transformed into a seminal jazz performance by the saxophonist John Coltrane (Coltrane would frequently play the tune until his death).
• "Blue Moon", a song written with lyricist Lorenz Hart, has become a pop standard.
• "You'll Never Walk Alone", originally from Carousel, is the anthem of Liverpool F.C. and has become almost synonymous with that football club.
• "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'" from the musical Oklahoma! is sometimes mistaken for an authentic folk song.
• Equally, "Edelweiss", the "Ländler" (Rodger's version of a traditional Austrian dance-tune) and Do-Re-Mi", from The Sound of Music frequently go unrecognized as Rodgers' work.
