Very scarce; at time of listing OCLC reports no copies of this sheet music held by any institution. There are no examples in the trade and no auction records at the Rare Book Hub. Although often credited to Root & Cady or others the original lyrics of this famous Civil War ballad were actually written by a young soldier Lawson Wood while he waited to die in a Union hospital after being mortally wounded during the initial battle at Vicksburg. Root & Cady planned to publish the soldier's far more heartrending lyrics as written under the title "On the Field of Battle Mother" and later explained that a mistake was made "in regard to these words." See "George F. Root" by P. H. Carder and "The Compendium of Every Day Wants" by Luther Minter. This example published by Brainard in Cleveland simultaneously with Root & Cady's Chicago 1862 edition contains the dying soldier's original lyrics.

While the Amos 'N' Andy radio show smacked of racism it was quite popular at the time. The show debuted in 1926 and featured two white actors Freeman F. Gosden Amos and Charles J. Correll Andy who appear on the cover in blackface make up. The sheet music "The Perfect Song" appears to have been the theme song for the show. Amos 'N' Andy would actually be converted to a TV show in the early 1950s but would have black actors. This sheet music includes two other songs including one sung by Rudy Vallee.</p> Chappell-Harms Inc., books
