Another popular recordings of the song was Barbra Streisand's, made 33 years after its first recording.

Mack, the man who introduced Roosevelt, delivered a bland clunker of a speech and walked off stage to the originally chosen song, Anchors Aweigh. Roosevelt's political advisors were so upset by the awful performance that they demanded a new song be played before the candidate's speech.

    Music 133: Rise and Fall of Tin Pan Alley (Subotnik, Spr. 2003)—p. 1 MUSIC 133: SEMINAR IN AMERICAN MUSIC: THE RISE AND FALL OF TIN PAN ALLEY Spring Semester, 2003 Rose Rosengard Subotnik COURSE DESCRIPTION: Focusing on the decades between the 1880s and the 1950s, this course examines social, musical and commercial forces behind the emergence and decline of Tin Pan Alley as well as changes in the substance, treatment, and significance of its songs during their years of popularity. Topics addressed include national identity and race relations as well as the difficulties of analyzing popular music. GOALS OF COURSE: The goal of this course is to give you a sound musical, historical, and critical sense of the Tin Pan Alley type of song, of the changes in style and role that characterized such songs over several generations, and of the various kinds of responses they have generated. Questions we will consider include 1) musical ones (e.g. What repertories does the term “Tin Pan Alley song” designate? In what ways is it useful to discuss the musical characteristics of such songs [their history? their structure? the various styles and mediums that made use of such songs? the identity of the artists who presented them?]] How might we assign musical value to this general category of song, and how might we evaluate individual songs within this category? Why is the Tin Pan Alley song typically denigrated in contrast to jazz, blues, and rock music? What happened to this type of song in the late 1940s and the 1950s, both before and during the transition to rock and roll?); and 2) cultural ones (e.g.

  • Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay
    Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay “Way Down Upon the Hudson River: Tin Pan Alley's New York Triumph” Rachel Rubin, Professor of American Studies, University of Massachusetts Broadway in the 1920s was a showcase for the sweeping changes transforming American culture in the early 20th century, including new roles for women, the mixing of social classes in new settings like Prohibition-era speakeasies and creative innovation by African Americans in jazz clubs and music halls. Sons of immigrants from Europe -- including the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen -- made up a large percentage of the new word and music smiths writing for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway’s musical revues. Their syncopated rhythms borrowed from the jazz craze and their lyrics helped create a vibrant, witty new American argot. Tin Pan Alley and Broadway contributed such classic standards as “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” (Berlin), “I Got Rhythm” (Gershwin and Gershwin), “Ol’Man River,” (Kern and Hammerstein), “Stormy Weather” (Arlen and Koehler), “Ain’t Misbehavin’” (Razaf, Waller, Brooks), “Anything Goes” (Porter) and many more. These songs formed the musical backdrop of an era. The production of these songs also became big business. The first major book written about Tin Pan Alley was published in 1930 by Harvard professor Isaac Goldberg, and it was subtitled “A Chronicle of the American Popular Music Racket.” Goldberg’s humorous use of the word “racket” captured something about the origins of the name “Tin Pan Alley” given to the music composed by poorly-paid songwriters banging away in cubicles in downtown New York City on cheap pianos.

  • Extract from Chapter Four: When You Grow Up, Little Lady
    Extract From Chapter Four: When You Grow Up, Little Lady In the summer of 1934, Lew took the band on the road again, and they played to sell-out audiences in Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Portsmouth and Nottingham, where Tiny Winters recalled that „people were scrambling for autographs in the interval, it was a near-riot. It really did bring home to us how people felt about the band.‟ When Al Bowlly sang, the dancers stopped dancing, and clustered ten-deep in front of the band-stand. In Bradford, he left the stage during an instrumental number, and was besieged by girls. He couldn‟t fight his way back to the microphone in time for his next vocal, and the band had to fill in for 32 bars. In that same year, Bowlly went to the USA, with Bill Harty, to sing with a new Ray Noble band. Alan Kane became the band‟s regular vocalist, while Jock Jacobson took over the drummer‟s stool. Albert Harris joined as guitarist, and Stanley Black was now on piano. In February 1935 the new band opened at the Hollywood Restaurant in Piccadilly. In March, trumpeter Nat Gonella left, to launch his career as a band-leader, with a smaller jazzier ensemble - The Georgians. Tommy McQuater took his place. At the Holborn Empire, Lew Stone made his debut as a comedian, with a languidly elegant rendering of the comedy song „Algernon Whifflesnoop John‟, complete with monocle, and supported by trumpeter Alfie Noakes as his obsequious butler. His deadpan vocal delivery also enhanced „The Gentleman Obviously Doesn‟t Believe‟, „Knock Knock‟, and most memorably „I‟ll be-BBCing You‟.
