This review is from: Great men of American popular song;: The history of the American popular song told through the lives, careers, achievements, and personalities of its ... Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Burt Bacharach (Hardcover)

David Ewen did his customary good-research on this book. Published in 1972. Starting with Stephen Foster and the beginnings of American popular song composers, this is a joyful read. Cole Porter,Harold Arlen & Co. litter the biographical pages. Mr. Ewen's final entry is of Johnny Cash.
