Description
Annotation Irving Berlin immigrated to the United States with his family in 1893. As a teenager in New York City, he earned pennies a day hawking newspapers. Determined to make a better life for himself and his family, he turned to singing in Bowery saloons. After selling his first original song, Berlin quickly advanced as a lyricist, taught himself piano, and was soon composing hit after hit. Today, Americans of all ages still enjoy Berlin's music, including the beloved melodies "White Christmas" and "God Bless America." Book jacket.
