The House that George Built

“

The House that George Built by Wilfrid Sheed includes delightfully intimate portraits of the icons of Tin Pan Alley. Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Richard Rogers stand out among those creative geniuses who gave us the songs that have become known as American Popular Music.
