It's All In The Game

       It's All in the Game" was a 1958 hit for Tommy Edwards. Carl Sigman composed the lyrics in 1951 to a wordless 1911 composition entitled "Melody in A Major," written by Charles Dawes, later Vice President of the United States under Calvin Coolidge. It is the only No. 1 pop single to have been co-written by a U.S. Vice President or winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

       The song has become a pop standard, with cover versions by dozens of artists, some of which have been minor hit singles.

• Nat King Cole version
• Cliff Richard version

Edwards' song ranked at No. 38 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.
