Popular Songs Of 1921

Remember how I used to do those Popular Songs of (Year) posts? Well, I never really stopped. I just got distracted for half a year or so. Here is the latest such post. In the coming days and weeks, I'll be covering the years 1931, 1941, 1951, and so forth, all the way till I get to 2011. So, stay tuned, people! And also, enjoy!  ~  JH
