The arrangements were usually simple, consisting of spare instrumentation and multiple-voice harmonies, but ranged in style from cocktail piano bar to Latin exotica. The songs themselves comically portrayed the world of the American homosexual subculture, often relying on broad stereotypes, gay slang, and saucy double entendres for their comic effect.

Sam Lansky of Idolator agreed, writing that "while evoking Elton John, the track sounds like it was recorded live in a piano bar, with audible background noise, like the spooling of film on a projector." Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said that Mars lists everything he should have done for the one he loved before she broke up with him. The lyrics find Mars regretful of not giving attention to his ex, as he "should have bought her" flowers and treated her better, as he reflects on their past relationship wishing for her new man to treat her better. Nick Messitte writing for Forbes found the track to be reminiscent of the "modern- day piano balladry" of Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway's "lonelier classics" such as "A Song For You" (1971), "Giving Up" (1971) and "For All We Know" (1972).

Giving Cheek to Cheek a rating of A–, Glenn Gamboa from Newsday declared the album as "straightforward jazz, gorgeous and well crafted". Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly commented that Bennett and Gaga are "in–if not quite heaven, then at least a pretty swell piano bar" and gave the album B+.

Filter gave the album a score of 78% and stated that "unlike Not Too Late, Jones’ latest decision to ditch her keys for strings is a poor one. In a way, she has indeed found a different beat to groove to, and if anyone can play in a piano bar without a piano, it would certainly be Norah Jones." Paste gave it a score of 7.6 out of 10 and stated that "Jones is clearly comfortable with where she’s arrived, and is ready to throw open the doors for a party.

In 1978, the Yekos established the Original Cast Record Company, and subsequently used both the label name 'Original Cast', and the catalogue prefix OC, in subsequent releases. The first issue to reflect this change was an original cast recording of the off- Broadway revue Piano Bar. During 1979, the Yekos embarked upon two new but related ventures: the CY Musical Foundation, which was, in their own words, "an educational and artistic wing for preserving, developing and promoting musicals", and a publishing arm (under the direction of Doris Chu Yeko) known as Broadway/Hollywood International Music Publishers, which sought to control the performing rights to lesser-known shows and make them available to a wider audience through the publication of sheet music and libretti.Sleeve notes for cast LP In Trousers OC7915 (1979) That same year, the couple released their first "film soundtrack" LP: a studio recording of songs from the film Movie Movie, written by Ralph Burns, Buster Davis, Larry Gelbart and Sheldon Keller.

Godchaux was born in Seattle, Washington, and grew up in Concord, California, a regional suburban center within the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. He began piano lessons at age five at the instigation of his father (a semi-professional musician) and subsequently played Dixieland and cocktail jazz in professional ensembles as a teenager. According to Godchaux, "I spent two years wearing dinner jackets and playing acoustic piano in country club bands and Dixieland groups...I also did piano bar gigs and put trios together to back singers in various places around the Bay Area...[playing] cocktail standards like 'Misty' the way jazz musicians resentfully play a song that's popular – that frustrated space... I just wasn't into it... I was looking for something real to get involved with – which wouldn't necessarily be music". He met and married former FAME Studios session vocalist Donna Jean Thatcher in November 1970; their son Zion, of the band BoomBox, was born in 1974.

Poses chose the English version, Frög, because it was unpretentious and easy to remember. The umlaut was added over the “o” as a design flourish, to symbolize the eyes of the frog. (The umlaut was later removed when the name Frog carried over to the catering business.) The restaurant struck a chord with young urbanites and quickly became a dining destination that built a needed sense of community. With the need for expansion, Frög moved to 1524 Locust Street in 1979, going from “neighborhood casual to upscale elegant.” Signature dishes include Three Noodle Appetizer, Vegetarian Chili, Sautéed Calf's Liver and Thai Chicken Curry. Frog was cited by Philadelphia Magazine on the occasion of the magazine's 25th anniversary as the “Best Restaurant” of the past 25 years. In 1977, Poses built on the success of Frög by opening The Commissary, an informal, 7am to 11pm eatery that had a cafeteria on the first floor and a sit-down restaurant on the second floor. In 1979, The Commissary added one of Philadelphia's first upscale takeout options, The Market at The Commissary, and a Piano Bar.
