Hollywood Movie Songs is the fifth book in Marion Short's popular
series about collectible sheet music, taking up where she left off
in From Footlights to "The Flickers." This time she concentrates on
movie music after sound took over. The golden years, from the
dazzling Busby Berkeley movies of the 1930s to the present day, are
presented in an exciting kaleidoscope of more than 700 colorful and
dramatic sheet music covers from famous movies that feature photos
of the world's most beloved film stars. The first section sets the
stage for the new Hollywood that took on the challenge of adding
sound to motion pictures, and follows significant trends from Al
Jolson's first astounding declaration in The Jazz Singer, "You
ain't heard nothing yet!" through each decade of increasingly
sophisticated development. The second part features brief
biographical sketches of 170 well-known film stars with a listing
of their movies that yielded sheet music, and representative photos
of each star on selected movie covers. This most requested book
also includes extensive indexes of songs, stars, and movies, and a
thoughtful price guide that will prove invaluable to movie buffs,
nostalgia seekers, and dedicated sheet music collectors.
