Thinking of the American Songbook - that wonderful collection of music - many of the composers come to mind - some are scarcely heard anymore - others are heard daily in new arrangements. After Rock and Roll came to be popular in the 50s some of these were passed on by - others remain - Add your own favorites as you wish....
