An Important Point about the song, "I Cover the Waterfront",
By
This review is from: I Cover the Waterfront (Paperback)
The product information from Amazon needs a slight change of course. Amazon states that the song, "I Cover the Waterfront" was inspired by the book by Max Miller and the film inspired from it. Cannonball Adderly, although a marvelous alto jazz musician was a young boy when the song was written by Johnny Green and Eddie Heyman, (Johnny Green who also wrote "Body and Soul.") The song, written in 1933 was recorded that year alone by the likes of Annette Hanshaw, Connie Boswell and Louis Armstrong, A year or two later the Ink Sports had a rather large hit on "I Cover the Waterfront." Most jazz artiest of the thirties through the eighties also offered takes on this classic, standard of The Great American Song Book.
As for Mr. Miller's books, I remember growing up in San Diego in the fifties and that my father loved the books and must surely have read them all. Highly recommended as are all the versions of the standard song. Joe M. Hayes Del Mar, CA |
