The Complete Lyrics of Irving Berlin

Everybody if you over sixty knows some IRVING BERLIN songs.I just have to mention WHITE CHRISTMAS,HAPPY HOLIDAY,GOD BLESS AMERICA or EASTER PARADE.This is an important capsule of AMERICANA.The songs are in chronological order and KIMBALL and his colleages have included an essential year by year summary of his life and work.What's fascinating here is that you can discover some songs that were almost erased from memories.I am a lifelong music lover and this serie of books about lyricists has given me pleasure.Thank you ROBERT KIMBALL.

Convient parfaitement à l'usage pour lequel il a été acheté. Donc, aucun problème particulier à signaler sur la qualité de ce produit.

Brilliant reference material and big enough for a door stop but will never be abused that way. Love it

This massive book contains every word that Irving Berlin wrote for his songs. He wrote oddles and gobs of songs so this book is big and heavy. The music is not included. Have i read every word of this book? No- and I should live long enough to hear every song sung. I do look forward to looking at this book whenever I look at a movie where his songs are used and when I listen to a CD of his songs. I know I will have years of happy useage of this book. There is no better book of his lyrics

Robert Kimball is the best in these Great Songbook anthologies. Thank you sir. I especially like the ephemera, notably his jotted doggerel to fellow composers. He was one of the few that wrote words and music together. Cole Porter was the other one from that era, followed by Frank Loesser, then Steven Sondheim. It's rare to be equally talented in both words and music.
