Product Description

One of the most beloved American ballades, this music tells the story of Frankie and Johnny. In a nutshell Frankie was betrayed by Johnny (with Nelly Blye) and she was so heartbroken that she killed Frankie. It has been in the public collective memory for approximately three generations and is still "covered" to this day. This piano solo encompasses several learning points for the pianist: swing rhythm, the old "Barrel-House" type of piano style (for dancing, boogie style/blues) which later evolved into ragtime and jazz.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
