"Ain't She Sweet" is a timeless Tin Pan Alley classic from 1927, written by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen. Originally penned as a tender tribute to Ager's young daughter, the song became one of the defining hits of the Roaring Twenties. Played here in the key of C, its bright, bouncy charm has kept it a favorite for nearly a century — covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles.*
