This series consists of holograph and printed scores and lead sheets for many of
Lou Herscher’s popular songs. Significant items include the holograph score for
"I’m Free (From the Chain Gang Now)" (1933), which Johnny Cash and Jimmie Rodgers
each recorded, as well as the holograph lead sheet for "Old Love Letters" (1934)
that Rodgers also recorded. A holograph lead sheet for "Song of the N. R. A."
(1934) with lyrics by William I. Sirovich is notable for its history as the first
song performed on the floor of the United States Congress. Other materials in this
series represent Herscher’s collaborations with prominent songwriters, including
James C. Bradford, Joe Burke, Dwight Butcher, Art Coogan, Saul Klein, Mitchell
Parish, Barry Richards, and Don Rockwell. Photocopied clippings, programs, and
sheet music covers accompany the music in this series. Music by Lou Herscher unless otherwise identified. |
