Post by benjaminh »

I would really like to get my hands on some Cohan records, such as “Yankee Doodle Dandy”, “Over There”, and “You're a Grand Old Flag”

If you mean these songs performed by George himself, there's bad news ...

No, not performed by himself... just records with music he composed, especially the titles above...

Caruso did a version of "Over There" as a patriotic gesture during WWI. It's listed in Moses as Victor Red Seal 87294. I don't own this one, but I've heard it. Caruso's Italian-accented English is quite amusing!
