喬治‧柯漢 (George M. Cohan) 於1878年7月3日出生了

除了「在那裡」之外，柯漢也創作「你是一個偉大的老國旗」 (You』re a Grand Old Flag) ，以及「我是一個鬼混的北方花花公子」 (I』m a Yankee Doodle Dandy) 等歌。喬治‧柯漢於1878年7月3日在羅德島的普洛威頓斯 (Providence) 出生。雖然他並沒有接受太多正式的訓練，但是他和他的姊姊加入父母親的歌舞表演，並且成為著名的「柯漢四口」 (The Four Cohans) 。柯漢有許多天分。他不但會寫歌，還會演戲跟寫劇本。電影「我是一個鬼混的北方花花公子」裡的主角就是根據他自己的個性所寫的。

下一次你看電視的時候，看看你能不能在老電影頻道上看到這部電影，或者去租錄影帶也可以。那麼你就會知道在葛萊美獎與MTV出現之前，人們都是聽什麼樣的歌曲，看什麼樣的舞蹈了。


Besides "Over There," Cohan also wrote, "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy." George M. Cohan was born on July 3, 1878, in Providence, Rhode Island. He had little formal training, but he and his sister joined their parents' vaudeville act and became known as "The Four Cohans." Cohan had many talents. He not only wrote songs, but also he acted and wrote plays. The movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy" was made about his career.

Next time you're watching television, see if you can find it on an old movie station, or rent it. Then you'll get to see the kind of song and dance people watched before the Grammys and MTV.
