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.,
