Sumario:Joe Davis enjoyed a 50-year career in the music industry, which covered nearly every aspect of the business. He hustled sheet music in the 1920s, copyrighted compositions by artists as diverse as Fats Waller, Carson Robison, Otis Blackwell, and Rudy Vallee, oversaw hundreds of recording session, and operated several record companies beginning in the 1940s. Davis also worked to help insure that black recording artists and song writers gained equal treatment for their work. This book is not just a biography, but an investigation of the role played by music publishers during much of the twentieth century.
