乔治．柯汉 (George M. Cohan) 于1878年7月3日出生了

除了「在那里」之外，柯汉也创作「你是一个伟大的老国旗」 (You’re a Grand Old Flag) ，以及「我是一个鬼混的北方花花公子」 (I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy) 等歌。乔治．柯汉于1878年7月3日在罗德岛的普洛威顿斯 (Providence) 出生。虽然他并没有接受太多正式的训练，但是他和他的姊姊添加父母亲的歌舞表演，并且成为着名的「柯汉四口」 (The Four Cohans) 。柯汉有许多天分。他不但会写歌，还会演戏跟写剧本。电影「我是一个鬼混的北方花花公子」里的主角就是根据他自己的个性所写的。

下一次你看电视的时候，看看你能不能在老电影频道上看到这部电影，或者去租录影带也可以。那么你就会知道在葛莱美奖与MTV出现之前，人们都是听什么样的歌曲，看什么样的舞蹈了。


Besides "Over There," Cohan also wrote, "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy." George M. Cohan was born on July 3, 1878, in Providence, Rhode Island. He had little formal training, but he and his sister joined their parents' vaudeville act and became known as "The Four Cohans." Cohan had many talents. He not only wrote songs, but also he acted and wrote plays. The movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy" was made about his career.

Next time you're watching television, see if you can find it on an old movie station, or rent it. Then you'll get to see the kind of song and dance people watched before the Grammys and MTV.
