Irving Berlin's Show Business

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.
