'The Forgotten Man' from 'Goldiggers of 1933'. There were several more famous songs in this film ('We're in the Money', 'Pettin in the park' etc). But the Forgotten Man song was so powerful. About the soup kitchens and bread lines in the US in the depression. The tune was fantastic also. It was the finale to the film - a fairly unusual way to end a Hollywood musical in those days. To leave you with something thought provoking.
