Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (with Lenny Hayton & His Orchestra)

This may have been the first ever protest song - it became the anthem of the Great Depression in the United States. It tells the story of a worker who has helped build the country with his labor, but finds himself out of work in the tough times.

This was written by Jay Gorney, the father of Saturday Night Fever actress Karen Lynn Gorney.

This song was written for New Americana, a Broadway show that flopped. It closed just before Bing Crosby recorded his version.
