"The Beat Continues" is the big band Entre'act overture from the musical Over Here!, which opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre (Broadway) on March 6, 1974. Like other musical overtures, this piece is an instrumental (only) medley of songs from the show (i.e. there are no lyrics). Although the Sherman Brothers, who wrote the music and lyrics for the show, are generally credited as "Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman" collectively for both the music and lyrics, it is generally accepted that Richard is the primary music composer and Robert, the primary lyricist.
