Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. An attractive Depression-era popular song published at the height of the American dance-band era. The striking blue-and-silver cover features a studio portrait of celebrated pianist Joe Reichman, whose orchestra popularized the song, alongside a simple yet effective heart motif characteristic of mid-1930s commercial music design. Inside are complete piano, vocal, and guitar arrangements, with an advertisement for Johnny Mercer and Matt Malneck's 'Goody Goody' on the inside front cover and Crawford Music's 'I'll Stand By' on the rear cover, firmly placing the publication within the vibrant New York Tin Pan Alley music publishing scene. Condition is Good+. Covers remain complete with moderate edge wear, corner creasing, surface rubbing, scattered handling marks, and several small edge chips and short closed tears, most noticeable along the fore-edge and lower spine. Original staples remain secure with no detached pages. Interior pages are clean and fully legible with light age toning and occasional handling wear. A solid, complete example of a 1936 Crawford Music Corporation issue featuring one of America's best-known 'Sweet Music' bandleaders. This is considered a First Edition / First Printing of the sheet music, bearing the original 1936 Crawford Music Corporation copyright with no evidence of later revision, renewal, or reprint statements.

A charter member of ASCAP, Young served on its board of directors and was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. His collaboration with Fred E.

A native New Yorker, he earned a law degree from Fordham University but chose music instead, beginning as an arranger before establishing himself as a full-time songwriter. His melodies became standards recorded by artists including Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fats Waller. Ahlert also served for two decades as a director - and later president - of ASCAP, reflecting his importance to the American music publishing industry. He, too, was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970.…
