No-Name Baby features big-name song
November 10, 2015
In 2002, the U.S. Postal Service honored Berlin with a stamp.
When is a song something more?
Sometimes, music can unlock memories. Main character Sophie discovers Alexander’s Ragtime Band is a link to the past for Aunt Rae. Writer Irving Berlin earned his first hit with the song in 1911.
Berlin, like the family in No-Name Baby, had roots in another country. He emigrated from Russia at age five.
