S.O.D. "It's All in the Game" by Tommy Edwards

12/14/2016     Here we have the only hit song composed by a Vice President.  This was done by Charles G. Dawes, Vice President  for Calvin Coolidge.  Dawes was a pianist and flautist and wrote the song in 1911 in a matter of hours.  Edwards released it in 1958 under the pop genre which was a #1 single for him. Many other versions were created including by Merle Haggard, and the Four Tops.  The late songwriter, Carl Sigman, also had a writing credit.  

     Edwards passed on in 1969 during his career and released 55 singles.  Many of his songs were hits for other artists.
