Here'a quote from Wikipedia..."It's All in the Game" is a pop song whose most successful version was recorded by Tommy Edwards in 1958. Carl Sigman composed the lyrics in 1951 to a wordless 1911 composition titled "Melody in A Major", written by Charles G. Dawes, who was later Vice President of the United States under Calvin Coolidge. It is the only No. 1 single in the U.S. to have been co-written by a U.S. Vice President[1] or a Nobel Peace Prize laureate (Dawes was both).The song has become a pop standard, with cover versions by dozens of artists, some of which have been minor hit singles." The version I recorded is Barry Manilow's which is a fully orchestrated tour-de force.
