Songwriter Edgar Leslie Shapes Hits With Sweat Not Mood
Edgar Leslie, a famed songwriter and former ASCAP director, emphasizes hard work over inspiration. He wrote parodies like I'm a Yid disher Cowboy and collaborated with Irving Berlin and Walter Donaldson, producing hits such as Among My Souvenirs and Moon Over Miami.
