One of the greats of rock oldies, "It's All in the Game" was written by Carl Sigman (lyrics) and Charles Gates Dawes (music). This Tommy Edwards hit is the only Billboard No. 1 record written by a vice president of the United States. Charles G. Dawes served under Vermont native Calvin Coolidge ("Silent Cal"). Any vice president who is an aspiring songwriter will have trouble topping this gem.
"It's All in the Game" remained in the Billboard No. 1 position for six weeks in 1958. Tommy Edwards reached the Billboard Top 40 six times, but "It's All in the Game" was by far his biggest hit.
