  • “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”—Rudy Vallee (1932) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Doris Bickford-Swarthout (Guest Post)*
    “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”—Rudy Vallee (1932) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Doris Bickford-Swarthout (guest post)* Rudy Vallee The writers said this song was not meant to be a sentimental piece or one for begging. It expressed the frustration, anger and puzzlement of millions of the unemployed and hungry. When the Great Depression hit, working-class veterans of World War I were especially harmed. Back from the war with injuries and loss, they tried to rebuild their lives, only to find, suddenly, that there were no jobs and for many, no homes. Why, they ask? They used to tell me I was building a dream And so I followed the mob When there was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always there right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead Why should I be standing in line Just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower up to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Rudy Vallee was born Hubert Prior Vallée, July 28, 1901, at Island Pond, Vermont. His family moved to Westport, Maine, where he grew up. His earliest ambition was to play the saxophone in a band. He was a pupil of Rudy Wiedoeft, whom he admired so much that his friends began calling him “Rudy.” The name stuck, and the only time Valle used his birth name was during World War II when he served in the Coast Guard.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.
