One of the few writers of his era to write both the lyrics and the melodies of his songs, Tin Pan Alley archetype Irving Berlin set the typeface in the first edition of the Great American Songbook with such iconic compositions as "God Bless America," "White Christmas," "There's No Business Like Show Business" and, literally, hundreds of others. His 1949 musical, "Miss Liberty," based on events surrounding the sculpting of the Statue of Liberty, performed relatively modestly, by Irving Berlin blockbuster standards, running 308 performances at New York's Imperial Theater. But if this photograph of a beaming Berlin at the piano, working with the cast and chorus of "Miss Liberty," is any indication, he was having the time of his life. "Irving Berlin has no place in American music," quipped fellow songwriter Jerome Kern; "He is American music."
