Description
The Unsung Songwriters by Warren Vache explores America's Golden Age of Songwriting, celebrating the lesser-known composers who created the vast majority of hit and standard songs. Contrary to popular belief, most beloved musical classics were not written by a handful of famous names like Berlin, Gershwin, Kern, Porter, or Rodgers, but by relatively unknown yet remarkably talented songwriters. This definitive reference work uncovers the stories and contributions of composers such as Al Neiberg, author of "It's the Talk of the Town," and Maceo Pinkard, revealing the hidden architects behind America's greatest melodies. Part of the Studies in Jazz series published by Scarecrow Press, this book offers music historians, jazz enthusiasts, and anyone interested in American songwriting a comprehensive guide to understanding the true origins of the standards that shaped popular music.
