Two pieces of sheet music for the Mills Brothers, popular African American jazz and pop recording artists and entertainers and inductees to the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

Good-Bye Blues, with words and music by Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields, and Arnold Johnson, was the Mills Brothers’ theme song, the sheet music’s cover noting that it was “Originally Introduced by the Mills Brothers. The music and lyrics were by three very successful Broadway song writers, lyricists, and arrangers, Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields and Arnold Johnson. McHugh and Fields had previously collaborated on the all-Black musical, Blackbirds of 1928, starring Adelaide Hall and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.
