Signed Photograph, 4to, n.p., January 17, 1983.
BLAKE, EUBIE (1883-1983) American composer, lyricist, and pianist of ragtime, jazz, and popular music. With long time collaborator Noble Sissle, Blake wrote the Broadway musical "Shuffle Along" in 1921; this was one of the first Broadway musicals to be written and directed by African Americans. Blake's compositions included such hits as, "Bandana Days", "Charleston Rag", "Love Will Find A Way", "Memories of You", and "I'm Just Wild About Harry". The musical "Eubie", which featured the collected works of Eubie Blake, opened on Broadway in 1978.

Eubie Blake, musician, and icon of American music of the early 20th century, is shown seated at the piano, playing, and facing out with a slight smile. He has signed this photograph on the right side in blue ink on white background. This is a piece of history, musical and otherwise, that is a must to keep and frame. (Item ID: 799)
