Title: Give My Regards To Broadway

Artist: Billy Murray

Writer: George M. Cohan

Song Types: Musical

Key: C

Info: "Give My Regards to Broadway" is a song written by George M. Cohan for his musical play Little Johnny Jones which debuted in 1904 in New York.

Cohan, playing the title character, sings this song as his friend is about to sail to America, looking for evidence aboard the ship that will clear his name for allegedly throwing the English Derby. He is sure he'll become a star on Broadway, therefore signing off with: "Give my regards to Broadway."

The song has been recorded many times. It was featured prominently in a solo song-and-dance sequence done by James Cagney in his Oscar-winning performance in the 1942 film about Cohan's life, Yankee Doodle Dandy. It has also been performed by Al Jolson, Jimmy Roselli, Judy Garland, and Patti LuPone.

One of the defining American hits. Charted at #1 in July 1905. This, along with "Yankee Doodle Boy" was one of two #1 hits for Billy from the musical, "Little Johnny Jones" and both led to Murray becoming one of the foremost interpreters of George M. Cohan's songs in the early 1900's. Another version of "Give My Regards to Broadway" charted at #4 in 1905 for S. H. Dudley. One of the most famous performances of the song is that of James Cagney  (as George M. Cohan) in the 1942 movie, "Yankee Doodle Dandy".
