For nearly a century, New York's famous "Tin Pan Alley" was the centre of popular music publishing in the US. Covering the full history of Tin Pan Alley, from its humble beginnings in the 1860s to its demise following World War II, this resource identifies its major publishers, composers, lyricists, singers, dances and bands.
For nearly a century, New York's famous "Tin Pan Alley" was the center of popular music publishing in this country. It was where songwriting became a profession, and songs were made-to-order for the biggest stars. Selling popular music to a mass audience from coast-to-coast involved the greatest entertainment media of the day, from minstrelsy to Broadway, to vaudeville, dance palaces, radio, and motion pictures. Successful songwriting became an art, with a host of men and women becoming famous by writing famous songs.
