Sheet music:April Showers

The decade of the 1920s saw a huge surge in popular music. Sales from sheet music as well as recorded music hit new highs as the so-called Jazz age started swinging. Singer Al Jolson made "April Showers" popular and the song was later featured in a motion picture. The new talkies also did their part to promote musical numbers. "April Showers," in spite of the advent of radio near the end of the decade, was one of about ten million-selling songs (in sheet form) of the 1920s. This printing is a later version from the early 1930s.
