5.0 out of 5 stars
A seminal, comprehensive, core reference title.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unsung Songwriters (Hardcover)
The idea that during the last century of American most "hit" tunes were generated by a relative handful of writers such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Kern, Porter and Rodgers is a common misconception. In fact, American popular music from "Tin Pan Alley" creations to Broadway Musical compositions were the work of a vast roster of relatively unknown composers who contributed melodies and lyrics ranging from the Broadway stage to the Hollywood sound studio. The Unsung Songwriters: America's Masters Of Melody is a work of seminal scholarship and exhaustive research which brings a long overlooked and well deserved recognition to the men and women who created the cultural legacy of the nation (and the world) that is American music. The Unsung Songwriters is a seminal, core title for all professional, academic, and community library music history reference collections.
