- [Announcer] This Indiana
Bicentennial Minute

00:00:02.164 --> 00:00:04.822
is made possible by the
Indiana Historical Society

00:00:04.822 --> 00:00:07.353
and the law firm of Krieg DeVault.

00:00:07.353 --> 00:00:09.257
- [Jane Pauley] Born and
bred in Bloomington, Indiana,

00:00:09.257 --> 00:00:11.597
a graduate of the IU School of Law,

00:00:11.597 --> 00:00:13.540
but it was at the piano not the courtroom

00:00:13.540 --> 00:00:16.715
that Hoagie Carmichael
would make his reputation.

00:00:16.715 --> 00:00:19.803
And in 1927, in the
studios of Gennett Records

00:00:19.803 --> 00:00:22.820
in Richmond, Indiana, an
American music classic

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:25.010
was recorded for the first time.

00:00:25.010 --> 00:00:28.158
Stardust would become one
of the most recorded songs

00:00:28.158 --> 00:00:31.731
in history with over
fifteen hundred versions.

00:00:31.731 --> 00:00:34.491
It was Hoagie's first
hit but not his last.

00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:37.619
He wrote Lazy River, Georgia on My Mind,

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:40.276
and won the 1951 Oscar for best song

00:00:40.276 --> 00:00:43.073
with In The Cool, Cool,
Cool of the Evening.

00:00:43.073 --> 00:00:45.013
About his song writing style he said,

00:00:45.013 --> 00:00:47.778
"You don't write melodies, you find them."

00:00:47.778 --> 00:00:51.190
Indiana's Hoagie Carmichael
sure did find a lot of melodies.

00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:54.933
I'm Jane Pauley with this
Indiana Bicentennial Minute.
