In 1930, as America was sinking into an unprecedented economic depression, a jaunty pop song invited listeners to “get happy”
IN 1930, as America was sinking into an unprecedented economic depression, Harold Arlen and Ted Koelher wrote a jaunty pop song that invited listeners to “forget your troubles”, “get happy” and “chase all your cares away”. In a time of distress, the music offered a moment of reverie. “Get Happy” became one of the biggest hits of the era, and was later covered by stars including Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.
