Irving Berlin's Show Business: Broadway - Hollywood - America

by David Leopold and Annabeth Albert

Few artists have left as profound a mark on twentieth-century culture as Irving Berlin has. Starting on New York's Tin Pan Alley in 1907 and continuing to Broadway and Hollywood, Berlin captured the hearts - and voices - of audiences with a wide variety of songs, many of which have become popular standards. This lavishly illustrated book will allow readers a behind-the-scenes look at the world that Berlin's music was written for.

Last of the goodies

Irving Berlin was a national treasure and this book celebrates him in style. In the days when music was still civilized Berlin was king. He caught the mood of this country like no other composer. It's fun to browse through this gem over and over.
