Leroy Anderson’s “Blue Tango”
ANDERSON, Leroy (1908-1975). Considered to be one of America’s four greatest 20th century composers of instrumental music. He wrote theme songs for television’s “The Late Show” and for “I’ve Got A Secret”. His best known work can be considered to be “blue Tango”. It made #1 on “The Hit Parade” (1952) and received a gold record for one million in sales. Anderson was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1988. AMuQs, Anderson has penned one line of music from “Blue Tango” on printed music paper measuring appx 3.5”x9”. The composer has identified the work “Blue Tango” and has written a wonderful sentiment: “Best wishes from the composer” and has signed his name twice, once being in block letters. Absolutely perfect and a scarce example from Anderson’s pen.......SOLD
