American Beauty Rose (song)


"American Beauty Rose" is a 1950 song written by Hal David, Redd Evans and Arthur Altman, which was a minor hit for Eddy Howard and for Frank Sinatra in 1950. It was also popularized by Sinatra's second version as a charting single in 1961. The song was included on his Come Swing with Me! LP, as the B-side to Sentimental Journey
Composer and critic Alec Wilder mentioned the song in passing in his book American Popular Song: The Great Innovators, 1900–1950, noting that " Sinatra could make every song but "Jealous Lover" and "American Beauty Rose" sound reputable."
