Tommy Edwards had a giant hit record in 1958 with a song written by a vice president of the United States. Charles Dawes was vice president under Calvin Coolidge in 1912 when he composed “Melody in A Minor.” In 1951, Carl Sigman put words to the melody and a classic was born. “It’s All in the Game” was a Billboard number one hit. As a 45, it’s not worth more than $20.00 but the 78 RPM version is worth up to $150.00 today. Both 45 and 78 are shown here.
