From the back cover: Al Goodman, famous conductor and musician, has devoted all his life to music. His love for music and his inherent musical ability were manifest when, at an early age, he sang soprano in his father's choir. He started his professional life as a pit musician in a local "movie house". Choosing music as his life-time work, he was awarded a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.

In 1915, Al Goodman was selected by Earl Carroll as arranger and conductor for his musical extravaganzas. Goodman considers this his "official" entry into show business... the start of an illustrious musical career which brought him into personal association with the all-time "Greats" of show business. Many shows and musical productions were successful in great measure because of Al Goodman's outstanding ability.

Al Goodman produced musical comedies with Earl Carroll. Hits like So Long Letty and Canary Cottage. Later he became Al Jolson's personal conductor and arranger. His next association was as musical director and composer for all Shubert musical productions.

Radio and TV claim him as consultant and director for such favorite programs as Hit Parade and Colgate Hour. He numbers as his friends and business associates such broadway luminaries as Earl Carroll, Al Jolson, George White, Sigmund Romberg, Jack Beeny, Fannie Brice, George Jessel, Flo Ziegfeld, James Melton, Max Gordon, Bob Hope and many, many others.

The name of Al Goodman, arranger, conductor, musician is one of the brightest lights on Broadway.
