Fred Rogers and his television neighborhood were a familiar and comforting companion to countless generations of young people. The music was an important part of each episode and helped re-enforce the lesson being taught. Lyrics and melodies were written and sung by Rogers himself who created more than 200 original songs. Won't You Be My Neighbor?, Tomorrow, It's Such a Good Feeling, It's You I Like, The Weekend Song, and many more are a part of our consciousness and still hold valuable lessons to be learned.
