Allan Sherman: The Life, The Hits, and the Lost Lyrics
Join author Mark Cohen for a lively evening celebrating the life and comedy of Chicago native Allan Sherman.

Sherman became a star in 1962 with the Jewish song parody album, My Son, The Folk Singer. Then came My Son, The Celebrity and My Son, The Nut. All three albums went gold, sparked a national concert tour and landed him television appearances that brought his comedy to millions. Recordings of lost parodies will be played.
