| Notes: Edwin H. Morris & Company, Inc., Published 1942. Sheet music, 6 pp.; 31 cm; plate Skylark-3; illustrated cover in pale blue, white, and brown with a photograph of Bing Crosby, cover art signed Im-Ho. In Good condition. Pale blue illustrated wrappers with moderate overall shelf and edge wear, light bumping and creasing to the edges and corners, and some soiling and toning; a small tear at the head and at the foot of the spine fold. Interior lightly toned, otherwise clean and unmarked. A wartime printing of one of the great American standards: Hoagy Carmichael's melody, drawn from music he had written for an unrealized film on the cornetist Bix Beiderbecke, set to a Johnny Mercer lyric he reportedly took the better part of a year to finish. Published in 1942 and carried up the charts that year by Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller (Ray Eberle, vocal), and Dinah Shore, it has since become a jazz-vocal staple. Cover credits the performer Bing Crosby and is signed by the illustrator Im-Ho. Page 2 advertises Shout! Wherever You May Be (I Am An American); the back cover carries an ad for The Passing Parade song folio. | |||||||||||||
