  Want to know the secret to writing a hit song?

  Here’s some pre-American Idol advice from Tin Pan Alley great Harry Von Tilzer. The son of German-Jewish immigrants, Von Tilzer helped shape the modern recording industry by mixing exquisite song craft with old-school business hustle.

  Check back with us to learn more about a new Idelsohn comp in the works that will showcase some of Von Tilzer’s tear-jerking pop genius. And for more on Von Tilzer and his Tin Pan Alley cohorts, check out this terrific new book from David Suisman.
