This series comprises material from Lindsey's early career as a songwriter. It primarily comprises informally published lead sheets (onionskin and ozalid copies), but also includes recordings of several songs (on 14 lacquer disks), lyric sheets (typed and handwritten, some annotated) and song sketches. Many of these songs were composed before Lindsey had taken his stage name, "Mort Lindsey," and are thus written under his birth name, "Morton Lippman." This series includes settings of several lyricists; however, his collaborations with Jerry Seelen and Artie Malvin are the most strongly represented. There are also a number of songs for which Lindsey furnished both words and music. Most of the lead sheets date from the 1950s and 1960s. The song "Lorna" was originally written for The Judy Garland Show; however, Lindsey appears to have marketed it separately in the way that he did his other songs, and so is included in this series.
