Condition: Very Good. Vintage sheet music for the fox-trot song, "Let It Rain, Let It Pour" or "I'll Be in Virginia in the Morning," for piano and ukulele. One of several variants, each with a different vignette photo of performing artists. Great patterned flapper illustration on the front, the artist signature in the lower left… corner, unknown. A rosy cheeks woman applying lipstick, sitting on luggage, appearing confident and ambitious, or at the least carefree, as the title would suggest, with an ominous bellhop character in blackface. The song itself is rollicking, instrumentally, with a ukulele accompaniment by Breen, who would be known as "The Original Ukulele Lady" and the first woman inducted in the instrument's Hall of Fame. Leopold Feist ran one of the largest publishers of music at the time and produced visually stunning duochrome sheet music, beginning in the early 20th century. He had a handful of often used composers, focusing mostly on folk, blues, and dance numbers. Donaldson and Friend were both prolific, and both contributed to film soundtracks: Donaldson also penned "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady" and "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)?", and Friend was from Tin Pan Alley, writing hits "Lovesick Blues," "My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now," and the Looney Tunes theme song, "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." 9 x 12 inches, six pages: folded wrapper and loose leaf laid in. Very Good, short spine tears, toning, name in ink on the front, faint creasing.

Gustav Gerson Kahn (November 6, 1886 - October 8, 1941) was an American lyricist who contributed a number of songs to the Great American Songbook, including "Pretty Baby", "Ain't We Got Fun?", "Carolina in the Morning", "Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo' Bye!)", "My Buddy" "I'll See You in My Dreams", "It Had to Be You", "Yes Sir, That's My Baby", "Love Me or Leave Me", "Makin' Whoopee", "My Baby Just Cares for Me", "I'm Through with Love", "Dream a Little Dream of Me" and "You Stepped Out of a Dream". After graduating from high school, he launched one of the most successful and prolific careers from Tin Pan Alley. By 1933, Kahn had become a full-time motion picture songwriter, contributing to movies such as Flying Down to Rio, Thanks a Million, Kid Millions, A Day at the Races, Everybody Sing, One Night of Love, Three Smart Girls, Let's Sing Again, San Francisco, Naughty Marietta, and Ziegfeld Girl. He also collaborated with co-lyricist Ira Gershwin. He had a friendship with Walter Donaldson. Their first collaboration was the song My Buddy in 1922. They went on to compose over one hundred songs together. Walter Donaldson (February 15, 1893 - July 15, 1947) was an American prolific popular songwriter and publishing company founder, composing many hit songs of the 1910s to 1940s, that have become standards and form part of the Great American Songbook. He had his first professional songs published in 1915. In 1918, he had his first major hit with "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady". During World War I, Donaldson entertained troops at Camp Upton, New York. His time there inspired him to write "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)?" After serving in the United States Army in World War I, Donaldson was hired as a songwriter by Irving Berlin Music Company. He stayed with Berlin until 1928, producing many hit songs, then in 1928 established his own publishing company. His company was legally known as "Donaldson, Douglas & Gumble, Inc", but all the publications had Walter Donaldson's name in large letters, and the legal name of the company in fine print. Donaldson frequently worked with lyricist Gus Kahn. Donaldson is primarily known as a composer, rather than as a lyricist, although he wrote words and music for dozens of songs. Among the big hits for which he wrote both words and music were "At Sundown" and "Little White Lies". In his prolific career, he published some 600 original songs. At the end of the 1920s, Donaldson moved to Hollywood, California, and worked composing and arranging music for motion pictures. His film credits include work on such pictures as Glorifying the American Girl, Suzy, The Great Ziegfeld, Panama Hattie, Follow the Boys and Nevada. May Singhi Breen (née May W. Singhi ; February 24, 1891, New York City - 19 December 1970, New York City) was an American composer, arranger, and ukulelist, who became known as "The Original Ukulele Lady." Her work in the music publishing business spanned several decades. Breen was the driving force in getting the ukulele accepted as a musical instrument by the American Federation of Musicians. In 2000, she became the first woman inducted into the Ukulele Hall of Fame. Breen is credited with convincing publishers to include ukulele chords on their sheet music. The Tin Pan Alley publishers hired her to arrange the chords and her name is on hundreds of examples of music from the 1920s on.[6] Her name appears as a music arranger on more pieces than any other individual. Her earliest kn.
