Hi, After seeing this advertised as a race record:
http://tinyurl.com/6mr7j http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6502977883 I realized that the only people I knew of that were African-American recording artists for Edison were Fletcher Henderson and George W. Johnson. Were there any others? I also learned that Black Patti records were named after a Black concert singer, M. Sissieretta Jones, who was known as 'The Black Patti' - though it should be stated that the label had absolutely nothing to do the singer. http://www.bluesbeforesunrise.com/bbssetlist020401.html http://tinyurl.com/5x6oe Steve
