| Charles G. Dawes, Vice President under Calvin Coolidge, was not only a statesman and Nobel Peace Prize winner but also an accomplished musician. In 1911, he composed an instrumental piece titled “Melody in A Major.” Decades later, songwriter Carl Sigman added lyrics, renaming it “It’s All in the Game.” Tommy Edwards’ 1958 rendition hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Dawes the only U.S. president or vice president to have written a chart-topping pop song. The tune went on to be covered by stars like Nat King Cole, Elton John, and Van Morrison. |
