    Description
    Isham Jones and Gus Kahn
    , original handwritten music manuscript in pencil by Jones for the song
    That's What Happens When You Fall in Love
    with music by Jones and words by Gus Kahn, signed by Isham Jones at the top of the first page, 4 pages, about 9 ½ by 12 ¼ inches, in very good condition as the manuscript had once been folded in half.  With the manuscript is a single sheet of paper and a small envelope with words for the song written in pencil, probably by Jones but possibly by Kahn.  There are a few differences in the words from the manuscript. The song was copyrighted with the Library of Congress on April 6, 1929.  I acquired this manuscript with others by Isham Jones that had been stored in a foot locker for over 60 years following the death of Jones in 1956.  (I have attached photos of the first and fourth pages of the manuscript and the first and third pages of song lyrics (page 2 is on the back of page 1) so the buyer will be the only one to see the full pieces.)  The song was never recorded by anyone and never published as sheet music.   My conclusion is that the manuscript is unknown in music circles and most likely the only copy of the song in existence.
    Isham Jones and Gus Kahn collaborated on writing several songs including great classics in the Great American Songbook such
    Broken Hearted Melody, I'll See You in My Dreams, It Had to Be You, On the Alamo, The One I Love Belongs to Someone Else
    , and
    There is No Greater Love
    .  Both men were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in its inaugural class of 1970.
