"Lucky Lindy!," 1927

01

Artifact Overview

Charles Lindbergh gained international fame with his solo transatlantic flight from New York to Paris. The reluctant celebrity was praised in several popular songs, with none more successful than "Lucky Lindy" written by Abel Baer and L. Wolfe Gilbert. Singer Jack Kaufman recorded the tune for Harmony Records on May 25, 1927 -- a mere four days after Lindbergh's flight!
