The story of the songs America sang from Yankee Doodle to the present. The story too of the men who made the songs, the moods and emotions that prompted them, the happenstance that made them famous. Ballads, ragtime, jazz, this is a note-worthy collection of factual material. Important as reference material on any question in this field, including criticism, appreciation, biographical data, discussion of the radio and the battle of recording.
