A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody and Other Favorite Song Hits, 1918-1919 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In fact, some of these songs have become jazz standards, such as After You've Gone and Hidustan. This is a great time capsule, people, and if you like American song, it needs to be opened. There's plenty of some of the best of Jolson, a few WWI memories, a taste of the stage (including the signature title piece), and plenty of comedy. There is also lots of contrast in style within, in spite of the limited period of time in which these pieces were published. A study of that facet alone is worth the time of any music student interested in popular song evolution. And you can always write me for further information on nearly any of the pieces. Quit reading - just do it!
Note that some of these songs are on my site, and all the listings for all Dover ragtime books are there as well, with links back to this page.
