For nearly a century, New York's famous "Tin Pan Alley" was the center of popular music publishing in this country.

It was where songwriting became a profession, and songs were made-to-order for the biggest stars.

Selling popular music to a mass audience from coast-to-coast involved the greatest entertainment media of the day, from minstrelsy to Broadway, to vaudeville, dance palaces, radio, and motion pictures.

Successful songwriting became an art, with a host of men and women becoming famous by writing famous songs.
