Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Don Roseland Collection consists of items kept by his widow Audrey Roseland-Scott, giving a glimpse into his musical career, primarily at the national level including composing music, performing and appearing in Hollywood movies. The collection has been organized by the format of the material, into five series: Sheet music, Music arrangements, Subject files, 78 rpm phonograph records and Audio & Film tapes.
The Sheet Music Series consists of four songs for which Don Roseland either composed the music or was done in collaboration with others. The sheet music spans from 1948 to 1954. The titles include Broke, Barefoot and Starry-Eyed, Don’t Say Goodbye When You Go, Flo from St. Joe, Mo., and Hit and Run Affair.
The Music Arrangements Series consists of four songs composed by Roseland. Each is a single sheet, some are original handwritten items. The titles include God Is, God Knows, God Does, He’s Never More Than Just a Touch Away, Nothing is Impossible, and Nothing is Impossible, which is the earliest item in the collection, copyrighted in 1944.
The Subject File Series includes only a single item, an issue of the Fabulous Las Vegas weekly publication which features an advertisement for The Three Dons and Ginny which had been performing at the Flamingo Hotel. The item includes a photograph of Don, Eddy, Buddy and Ginny Greer.
The 78 rpm Phonograph Record Series consists of three original 78 rpm records. Two of them were published by Coral Records and have printed on the label „Sample Copy, Not for Sale.‟ All are vocal performances by The Three Dons and Ginny with orchestra or musical accompaniment.
The Audio & Film Tape Series is an eclectic collection of item recording performances by The Three Dons and Ginny and Don Roseland. The information found in the folder listing was taken from the original item or container.
