EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative music cover features two iconic songs by the legendary American composer, Irving Berlin, from the 1942 wartime film, "This Is the Army." The two songs showcased are "This Is the Army, Mr. Jones" and "I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen." Irving Berlin, a prolific songwriter of the 1920s and 1930s, made an indelible mark on American music history. However, during World War II, he turned his attention to creating music for the war effort. "This Is the Army" was a patriotic musical film produced by Warner Bros. that showcased a fictionalized account of the formation and training of an army unit. The cover design is simple yet striking, with the blue and cream color palette reflecting the wartime aesthetic. The sheet music is set against a backdrop of khaki-clad soldiers, adding to the military theme. The title "This Is the Army" is emblazoned across the top in bold, black letters, while the two song titles are displayed below in a smaller font. The songs' lyrics are printed on the reverse side of the sheet music. "This Is the Army, Mr. Jones" is a rousing, upbeat number that encourages enlistment and patriotism. The second song, "I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen," is a romantic ballad that became a popular hit during the war. The title refers to the Stage Door Canteen, a USO club where servicemen could meet and socialize with Hollywood stars. This music cover is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1940s and the unique cultural moment of wartime America. The songs remain popular classics, and this cover is a beautiful reminder of their historical significance.
