  4. Irene Higginbotham “I had a hard time finding a real Biography on Irene Higginbotham. There were conflicting information on her and an Irene Kitchen. I found many websites that said both of these ladies did the song “Good morning Heartbreak”. One woman was an African American and the other was white. I couldn’t find any websites that were credible websites to read on her”

  8. Good Morning Heartache Good Morning Heartache was made by Ervin Drake, Irene Higginbotham, and Dan Fisher in the early 1940’s. It was first brought to Ervin drake by Irene Higginbotham. Irene had the music composed and asked Ervin to put words to it. Ervin was going through a rough time and therefore he wrote out the words very quickly.

  9. Good Morning Heartache 0:38- The melody in the instruments are consistent and smooth. The vocals in the song are pitchy. The harmony is hard to follow with the vocals being up and down so often. This does help create the culture in the song. This song is all about being in the mourn of someone. The composer wrote this song because he was in the mourn of his wife dying.

  10. It was a Very Good Year It was a very good year was written and composed by Ervin Drake. It was a huge hit when frank Sinatra sang it. Frank Sinatra Decided to sing this song when he was turning 50. It was to tell his story about growing older and loving his life.

  11. It was a Very Good Year This song was the inspiration for doing my paper on Ervin Drake. When I would go through a hard time this was a great song. 3:10- The music and instruments become shrilling until the harp comes in about two seconds after. This gives the song depth.

  12. The Rickety Rickshaw Man Ervin Drake wrote and composed this song in 1945. This sold over a million copies. Eddie Howard and his orchestra sang this big hit song.

  13. The Rickety Rickshaw Man • 1:54-The melody in the music is upbeat. The brass instruments form are working well together as well as the as the texture and dynamics.
