Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/I Want to Go Back to Michigan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irving Berlin is an important enough songwriter to deserve a place among our featured sounds. The challenge is to find an early composition and a recording under free license. This 1914 song is remembered largely for Judy Garland's performance in the film Easter Parade. The film was made too late for the pre-1923 window, but I was able to locate this 1914 recording from the year the song was first composed and it's good quality for the period. Appears at "I Want to Go Back to Michigan" and at Edison Records. Lyrics available at Wikisource.
