Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Attractive, clean & tight copy, unread in NEW condition. "From Irving Berlin to Cy Coleman, from 'Alexander's Ragtime Band' to 'Big Spender,' from Tin Pan Alley to the MGM soundstages, the Golden Age of the American song embodied all that was cool, sexy and sophisticated in popular culture. For four glittering decades, geniuses like Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Harold Arlen ran their fingers over piano keys, enticing unforgettable melodies out of thin air. Wilfrid Sheed knew the legends, mingled with the greats, and gossiped with the insiders. Now he's crafted a dazzling, authoritative history of the era that 'tripled the world's total supply of singable tunes.'"[]"Time and again, in this magical, long-awaited book, Wilfrid Sheed flies on the wings of song directly into the brain of the makers of music. THE HOUSE THAT GEORGE BUILT offers a great novelist and critic in peak form, combining the strengths of both disciplines to go beyond anecdote and musicology and into the process by which America's unrivaled songwriters became the tuning forks of an era. This is cultural history you can hum."---Gary Giddins. Pristine & quite presentable. Seller Inventory # RUB796
