Description

Can you name that tune? Now you can with Tin Pan Alley, the ultimate source of information on hundreds of thousands of the most popular -- and even obscure -- American songs of the twentieth century. Telling the history and dreams of our nation through its music, Tin Pan Alley's show-stopping delivery of over 200,000 songs spotlights: heart wrenching ballads from the turn of the century, beloved and timeless Broadway songs, torch songs from sizzling nightclub acts, a number of "talkies" and "hum-alongs" from radio and tv, and much more. Tin Pan Alley's broad repertoire of songs also includes: -- the toe-tapping jazz of St. Louis and New Orleans -- the rhythmic cowboy influences of the West -- Chicago's brassy, "big city" sound -- African-influenced rhythms of the Old South. Ken Bloom (author of Hollywood Song: The Complete Film and Musical Companion which was selected by RASD/ALA as an Outstanding Reference Source, 1996) provides the reader -- and listener -- with complete songographies of over 200 leading twentieth-century American composers and lyricists. In three volumes, each entry alphabetically lists the songwriter's contribution in chronological order and includes whether the songs were written as pop songs or for Hollywood, Broadway, or nightclubs. Also included are a complete alphabetical listing of all songs, as well as an index of each songwriter's name. From the most acclaimed songwriters -- Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Burt Bacharach, and the Gershwins -- to the less prominent -- J. Fred Coots, Herman Hupfeld, Mack Gordon, and Harry Revel -- Tin Pan Alley is the perfect gift and resource for any aficionado of American music, now and then.
