Autographs From The Famous Kissing Sailor On V-J Day
Autographs from the kissing sailor on V-J Day, August 14, 1945, signify a special moment in Times Square, New York City. President Harry Truman announced the end of the war and just moments later, Alfred Eisenstaedt and Victor Jorgenson took their famous photographs of a sailor passionately kissing a nurse in a white uniform. Their embracing pose represented the celebratory mood of America.
Eisenstaedt took the photograph at the intersection where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge, while facing the famous building where the traditional New Year's ball rises to announce the end of a year and the beginning of a new one. Using his Leica camera, Eisenstaedt took the photograph because of the stark contrast between the sailor's dark uniform and the nurses white outfit. The photograph became a fabulous success and Eisenstaedt's eternal legacy.
Equally famous is a photograph of the same scene taken by U.S. Navy journalist Victor Jorgensen. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph that is copyright protected, the photograph taken by Jorgensen is in the public domain since it was taken by a federal government employee while on an official assignment.
The identity of the nurse in the picture is believed to be Los Angeles resident Edith Shain, although other women have claimed to be the nurse in the famous pose. Eleven men have laid claim to be the sailor in that famous Times Square pose. The two primary contenders are Carl Muscarello and Glenn E. McDuffie.
Carl Muscarello is a retired officer from the New York Police Department who claims that he kissed numerous women in Times Square on that joyous day. However, Edith Shain is not certain he was the one that kissed her. Carl Muscarello's autograph has appeared on numerous photographs of the scene in Times Square and occasionally on a check.
The other top contender for the kissing sailor is Glenn Edward McDuffie. McDuffie says that he cocked his wrist at the time of the photograph to give the photographer a better view of the nurse he kissed. McDuffie corroborated his claim as the kissing sailor when he identified two other sailors in the famous scene. Glenn McDuffie's autographs are scarce, but they have appeared on album pages and cancelled checks.
Autographs from the the famous kissing sailor and his nurse taken at Times Square on V-J Day are a touching reminder of America's celebratory mood that marked the end of the war.

Autograph $6.99 Personnel: John Denver (vocals, 6- & 12-string guitars); Herb Pedersen (acoustic & electric guitars, banjo); James Burton (acoustic & electric guitars, dobro); Denny Brooks (acoustic guitar); Danny Wheetman (mandolin, harmonica); Jim Horn (reeds); Glen D. Hardin (keyboards); Emory Gordy, Jr. (bass); Hal Blaine (drums, percussion); Renee Armand-Horn (background vocals).All tracks have been digitally remastered.John Denver's music has always expressed themes of peace, harmony, and nature, and there is yet another dose of this spirit right here for those who love him. Imagine John Denver, the ever-so charismatic, message-bearing singer/songwriter/prophet, delivering songs with a high-intensity group of fellow musicians. It is here, during the recording sessions of Autograph, that Denver pulls out his magic, singing joyous mountain-music jams and sweet, teary-eyed ballads with his backup group, his friends the Sharks. Johnny and the Sharks come through here with grace and pizzazz, delivering messages of laughter, hope, and wisdom through strong folk storytelling. The opening of the record sustains with rich color and enchantment, attached to a wistful, lighthearted jam. "Dancing With the Mountains" is certainly danceable, as much as "In My Heart" is smooth and easygoing, ready for the slow-dance scene. "The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel" is filled with texture, percussive wittiness, and vibrant, long-lasting jamming. The Sharks and Denver go airborne during this tune, appearing to soar to higher heights with eagles in cobalt mountain skies. Denver's merry charisma shines through with delightful resonance during his yodeling and singing in "Wrangell Mountain Song," a song about how "time goes by so slowly": a song about the excitement of anticipation. Dashing further away from Denver's pop-folk rock ballad formula is the hauntingly beautiful tune "Whalebones and Crosses," a charming, prophetic statement of grief, gratitude, and compassion for those sailors and loved ones, those fallen fathers lost to the perils of sea. "American Child" rings clear with visions of the icy blue seas of Alaska, and the adventurous trek of a child to pursue his dreams, to find a sense of solitude and fulfillment. The land of the midnight sun soon unfolds into the following tune of deep lyrical sentiment, "You May Say the Battle Is Over." "Most men are ruthless, but some will still weep when the gifts we were given are gone," is a strong statement of a melody that carries themes of peace, and of those who wish and pray, "let the war be over." Autograph is a genuine and sentimental statement displaying the strong and crafty songwriting of John Denver. ~ Shawn M. Haney |
