The Al Jolson Project: A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody
FOR ALL OF US WHO CAN’T GET A TUNE OUT OF OUR HEADS: Larry DeAngelo sings A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody. This popular song written by Irving Berlin in 1919 became the theme song of the Ziegfeld Follies. The first verse and refrain are considered part of the Great American Songbook and are often covered as a jazz standard.
