Hill, Joe.; Sugar, Maurice; Cornwall, Philip; et al. Robinson, Earl; editor. - America Sings. (Cover Title).
New York: Workers Book Shop, circa [1939]. [1939]. - 12mo [approximately 4-3/4 inches high by 3-1/2 inches wide], softcover bound in printed gray wrappers. The binding is lightly soiled. The bottom corner of the front wrap is heavily creased & its bottom edge is lightly chipped at the spine. The top corner of the rear wrap is torn & heavily creased. Pages [1]-[62] including wraps. The bottom page corners through page 8 are creased & a few rear top page corners are lightly bumped. Good. Earl Robinson writes in his one-page introduction: "This booklet 'America Sings' is a compilation of fifty songs, old and new, which have been and are being sung in the American labor movement." No music is included. Robinson says that readers will know the tunes and that most of them can be found in another Workers Book Shop publication "Songs of the People". A brief note gives the origin of each song. Among the contents are Maurice Sugar's well-known labor anthem "Sit Down". The Workers Book Shop was a center for The Communist party in America. Rare. Good .
