Somewhere over the rainbow should seriously be considered the number one song of ALL TIME. Not to mention, from the number one movie of ALL TIME. They are both classics that will live on FOREVER. Not many songs/movies have accomplished just that.
very well done! Stein song was so big they made it into a cartoon also. I danced to Guy Lombardos band playing boohoo! When I was 17. I think Stormy Weather should be in there too! And how about Stardust? And everyones piano duet favorite called Heart and Soul?! There were so many good songs in the thirties they should have a top 20 instead of 10 Puttin on the Ritz, Happy Days are Here Again, Blue Moon, Paper Moon, I Found a Million Dollar Baby, Harbor Lights, Red Sails in the Sunset
Stein Song - written in 1904 by 2 college freshmen who entered it in a song competition in a campus minstrel show. The melody, partially based on a German march by E. A. Fenstad called "Opie", was composed by Adelbert Sprague, who became a prof of music at the Univ of Maine.The words were written by his roommate, Lincoln Colcord, who was later a well-known author of sea stories. Rudy Vallee spent a year at the Univ of Maine (1921-22) before transferring to Yale. He recorded "Stein Song" in 1930.
@difa2ol Boo Hoo - BOO HOO song 1937 Guy Lombardo (Edward Heyman, Carmen Lombardo & John Jacob Loeb) Boo-hoo, you've got me crying for you and as I sit here and sigh, says I, "I can't believe it's true." Boo-hoo, I'll tell my mama on you. The little game that you played has made her baby oh so blue. You left me in the lurch, you left me waiting at the church. Boo-hoo, that's why I'm crying for you. Someday you'll feel like I do and you'll be boo-hoo-hooin' too.
im 16 and i think this music is what REAL music is, i prefer older stuff than the bullshit thats on the radio

@danntasbrasil Thanks for telling me about Stein Song and Boo Hoo. Interesting about Rudy Vallee. Guy Lombardo was one of my parents' favorites!
