Man for Sale: A brutal reminder of the horrors of a slavery auction in which the strong virtues of the slave are stated in order to get the highest price. From Harold Arlens' Bloomer Girl set during he civil war. The song was writen by Arlen and he sang it on the cast recording.He was one of he few composers who could effectively sing their own songs. Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer were also able to perform their own material .
