Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pretty Baby is a song written by Tony Jackson during the Ragtime era. The song was remembered as being prominent in Jackson's repertory before he left New Orleans in 1912, but was not published until 1916. The song and lyrics apparently referred to one of Jackson's male lovers. The 1916 sheet music credits Jackson along with Gus Kahn and Egbert Van Alstyne. It is not clear what their actual role in developing Jackson's tune was; Tin Pan Alley practice at the time often gave partial author credit to staff writers to keep more of the royalty payments within the company. However Kahn may have rewritten some of Jackson's lyrics (the original was said to have been rather risque), and Van Alstyne may have had a hand in arranging the song's bridge. The song has been covered by many singers including Al Jolson, Doris Day (in Young Man with a Horn), and Dean Martin, inspiring his album Pretty Baby.
