“Alabamy Bound” was the very first of so many successful collaborations between lyricist Buddy DeSylva and composer Ray Henderson (usually joined by lyricist Lew Brown, though Bud Green was the ‘third man’ on this one). Blossom Seeley--born Minnie Guyer--was a top Vaudeville headliner along with her husband Benny Fields.
