Kern, Jerome. (1885–1945) & Hammerstein, Oscar. (1895–1960) & Stothart, Herbert. (1885–1949). "Can't Help Lovin Dat Man" - Autograph Musical Quotation .
Autograph musical quotation of the beloved song "Can't Help Lovin Dat Man of Mine" by the important Broadway and Hollywood composer, penned on a leaf from the visitor's book of the manager's office at the London Hippodrome in 1928 and boldly signed. The leaf is also signed and dated on recto and verso by several other prominent figures of the era, including librettist and producer Oscar Hammerstein (1895 - 1960), composer and songwriter Herbert Stothart (1885 - 1949), producer and screenwriter Laurence Schwab (1892 - 1952) and Polish artist Jan Junosza de Rosciszewski ("Tom Titt"). 20 x 25 cm.
"Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" with music by Jerome Kern, and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, is one of the most famous songs from their classic 1927 musical play Show Boat, adapted from Edna Ferber's novel. The song, written in a blues tempo, is sung in the show by several characters, but is most closely associated with the character Julie, the biracial leading lady of the showboat "Cotton Blossom".
Kern's first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein, the popular musical Sunny, had played successfully at the Hippodrome in 1926. Returning to London in 1928, Kern saw an even greater success with the London premiere of their watershed musical Show Boat at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane -- from which this iconic song is taken.
