Description

51. Gershwin, George. “Swanee”, T. B. Harms, New York. 1919. Plate number 5935-4. 5 pages. Pages loose, some wear and soiling.

First Edition. First published with this generic cover of a couple in formal clothes, the song became popular when Al Jolson introduced it on Broadway in “Sinbad.” It was then immediately reissued with Jolson on the cover becoming a runaway best seller and making Gershwin into an overnight sensation.

Original copies of the first edition of “Swanee” are rare.

Reference: Fuld, page 541.
