Tin Pan Alley presents the full history of American popular song as it was composed, published, and marketed from the turn-of-the-twentieth-century to World War II. Illustrated with rare period photographs and reproductions of sheet music covers, it includes entries on prominent composers, music publishers, styles, and songs. With over 350 individual entries arranged A to Z, it offers a complete reference guide for students of American pop song, culture, and music. The work concludes with a general index and a complete song title index.
