Popular Songs Of 1937, Vol. 1

I'm not quite done with this seemingly never-ending series of "Popular Songs Of" posts quite yet. There's this set and the three volumes that follow it. Then I'll probably tackle the tunes of 1927 and call it done. I was surprised at how many "keepers" I found among songs that, at eighty years old, are clearly well before my time. Music was just better back in the day, I suppose. And boy, do I feel old in simply admitting THAT! Anyway, here goes... Enjoy!  ~  JH
