Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. An attractive original 1946 issue of the postwar hit "Rumors Are Flying," with words and music by prolific songwriting team Bennie Benjamin and George Weiss. Published by Oxford Music Corporation, this edition features a blue monochrome portrait of Perry Como, whose popular recording helped propel the song to national success during the autumn of 1946. The rear cover advertises contemporary Santly-Joy song folios, while the interior includes complete lyrics and piano/vocal arrangement with ukulele chord diagrams. The copyright page confirms the original 1946 publication by Oxford Music Corporation. The song became one of the biggest sheet music successes of late 1946, reaching the top position on Billboard's best-selling sheet music chart during its initial release. Very Good condition. Complete and sound. Moderate age toning consistent with vintage paper, light edge and corner wear, a few small creases, and mild handling wear. Original owner's name ("Nancy Whitman") neatly written in pencil at the top edge of the front cover. Interior music pages remain clean and fully legible with no tears or significant markings observed. Spine fold remains secure with no loose pages. An attractive display copy suitable for collectors or framing. A major collectible feature of this example is the signed cover artwork by Albert Wilfred Barbelle (1887-1957), one of the most important commercial illustrators of the Tin Pan Alley era. Barbelle produced hundreds of iconic sheet music covers between the 1910s and 1940s and is represented in the collections of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, which identifies him as the artist behind numerous classic popular music covers. His signature appears at the lower left of this cover, and institutional bibliographies specifically identify this 1946 Rumors Are Flying edition as a 'cover design by Barbelle.' The song itself also represents an important collaboration between Bennie Benjamin and George Weiss, two of the most successful American popular songwriters of the mid-twentieth century. Weiss later co-wrote enduring standards including The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Can't Help Falling in Love, and What a Wonderful World, making this an appealing early example of his songwriting career.
