PUBLICATIONS WRITTEN BY:
AFTER 85 YEARS, THIS HISTORIC AFRICAN AMERICAN VOLUME IS, AT LAST, BACK IN PRINT
WAY DOWN SOUTH
This pseudo-novel's co-author, David Arlen, was famed African-American entertainer Clarence Muse's press representative. As such, he continually goaded his client to recall, in book form, his recollections of touring the early 20th Century southern Black vaudeville circuit. However, Muse was too close to the forest to see the trees.
Eventually, though, Arlen made a deal with his client; he would invite a roomful of mostly "civilian" (non-show biz) friends of his to assemble in Muse's digs, where the latter would recount anecdotes and perform songs from his earlier life on the road. If the gathering reacted in the positive fashion that Arlen expected, Muse would agree to collaborate with him on a book. And so, it went; the ad hoc performance was a hit. The result was this fascinating 1932 roman à clef.

The Last Musical Hurrah: Jazz and Pop Singing and the Onslaught of Rock
The title alone should give you some idea of the subject matter. To elaborate just a bit, it is about the impact of the tsunami of rock and roll as it swept across the land circa 1955-'65 and all but obliterated the half-century of songwriting achievements of such as the Gershwins, Porter, Berlin, et al that had come before. A body of work that has since come to be called,
collectively, The Great American Songbook.
"There's scarcely a lemon in this 250-singer lot (circa 1955-'65. And, to think, they did it all without Auto-Tune. Thus—mid-20th Century—most of them were preparing themselves to become the next Stafford or Sinatra. It was unfathomable to them that the time would ever come when they'd have to do their own bookings and publicity, keep mailing lists, and release records on their own, etc. And yet . . ."
The 250 singers alluded to in the above paragraph were, for the most part, very talented individuals. But there was only so much post-rock room in the cultural lifeboat and the vast majority of them sank without a trace after—at one and the same time—their first and last vinyl hurrahs. This book is their story i.e., entries on each of these vocalists; their backgrounds, the album in question and (whenever it was possible to ascertain) how their stories played out. This book contains 8,500 referenced song titles.
