About This Item
Earl Robinson writes in his one-page introduction: "This booklet 'America Sings' is a compilation of fifty songs, old and new, which have been and are being sung in the American labor movement." No music is included. Robinson says that readers will know the tunes and that most of them can be found in another Workers Book Shop publication "Songs of the People". A brief note gives the origin of each song. Among the contents are Maurice Sugar's well-known labor anthem "Sit Down".
The Workers Book Shop was a center for The Communist party in America.
