===Musical contributions===
* In 1937, lyricist Hecht collaborated with composer [[Louis Armstrong]] on "Red Cap", a song about the hard life of a railway porter. That summer, Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra recorded it for [[Decca Records]], as did [[Erskine Hawkins]]'s Orchestra for [[Vocalion]]. This may be Ben Hecht's only "popular" song.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-UNEtYqOGs |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/i-UNEtYqOGs| archive-date=December 11, 2021 |url-status=live|title=RED CAP by Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra 1937|last=cdbpdx|date=April 3, 2010|access-date=August 21, 2018|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
* ''Uncle Sam Stands Up'' (1941) Hecht contributed the lyrics and poetry to this patriotic cantata for baritone solo, chorus, and orchestra composed by [[Ferde Grofe]], written during the height of World War II.
* ''We Will Never Die'' (1943) a pageant he composed with [[Kurt Weill]], with staging by [[Moss Hart]], written partly because of Hecht's consternation with American foreign policy in Europe concerning the [[Holocaust]] and Hollywood's fear of offending the European (Axis) market
