What is an "American popular standard"?

Our favorite boy singer explains.

Surrounded by Ervin Drake's "It was a Very Good Year," we hear Johnny Richards and Carolyn Leigh's "Young at Heart" from the movie of the same name, Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin's "The Girl Next Door" from the movie "Meet Me in St. Louis," Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg's "Last Night When We Were Young" written for baritone Lawrence Tibbett, and Gordon Jenkins's "This is All I Ask" originally recorded by Burl Ives.
