Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Born in Portsmouth, Virginia, Mack started writing song lyrics, starting with "Good Morning, Carrie" in 1901. He co-founded the Gotham-Attucks Music Publishing Company in May 1905, in New York City; it was likely the first black owned music publishing company and this was one of its earliest productions. In 1907 he wrote the lyrics for the musical The Black Politician and in 1925 he co-wrote the book for the musical Mooching Along. In 1931 he co-wrote the music for the musical Rhapsody in Black. Mack died in New York, aged 70. His obituary observed that "Not even Irving Berlin exceeded the output of this talented New York Negro. According to Wikipedia: Cecil Mack's songs were pure fun and never had an off-color line." He was married to Dr. Gertrude Curtis, a pioneering African-American dentist who had an office in Harlem. Oversized, 4pps, 1st edn, VG, featured in Marrying Mary.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. This sheet music features a drawing of a coquettish young woman with an insert photograph of the singing duo, Bruce and Daigneau. The music has general wear and light aging with a very small closed tear on the front edge. Overall VG to VG+. This song was composed by Albert Von Tilzer, brother of Harry, but of more interest, the lyrics were written by Cecil Mack (born R. C. McPherson) a prolific African-American songwriter. Cecil Mack was a lyricist and composer who also founded the first African-American music publishing company in New York, Gotham Music, which later merged with Attucks Music. Mack was responsible for publishing many of the songs made famous by Bert Williams and George Walker. The Library of Congress lists "Teasing" as a "coon song," but I see no evidence of that in the lyrics. SMAA ; Sheet Music; Color Illustrations; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 6 pages.

Softcover. Condition: Good. This sheet music has much edge, corner and surface wear including tears, chips, scuffs and minor creasing (mainly at corners). However, there is no major area of damage. It is in the G range. The lyrics were written by Cecil Mack (born R. C. McPherson) was a prolific African-American songwriter. He was mainly a lyricist who also founded the first African-American music publishing company in New York, Gotham Music, which later merged with Attucks Music. (This sheet music was published by Gotham-Attucks.) Mack was responsible for publishing many of the songs made famous by Bert Williams and George Walker. Chris Smith was mainly a composer, who frequently worked with Mack. His most famous work was "Ballin' the Jack," though he wrote many popular tunes near the turn of the 20th century. This sheet music thus features two African-American songwriters with an African-American publishing company. The photograph on the cover, though, is of the white "coon" singer, Clarice Vance.

The scarce sheet music for the collaboratively composed "The Camel Walk," which enjoyed a short-lived spell of popularity in 1925 as a dance successor to the Charleston. Tim Brymn (18811946) was a prominent African American bandleader, pianist, and composer active in New York during the 1910s and 1920s. Born in Kingston, North Carolina, he studied at the National Conservatory of Music and led orchestras at major venues including the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic and Reisenweber's Paradise Ballroom. He later organized the Black Devil Orchestra, which toured Europe in the early 1920s and recorded for Vocalion. Co-composer Chris Smith (18791949), born in Charleston, South Carolina, was an important early ragtime songwriter best known for the 1913 hit "Ballin' the Jack," written with Jim Burris and popularized through the dance repertoire of Vernon and Irene Castle. Lyricist Cecil Mack (18731944), born Richard Cecil McPherson in Baltimore, was a key figure in Black musical theater and a founder of the Gotham-Attucks Music Publishing Company in 1921, one of the first major Black-owned music publishers. Bob Schafer was active in New York popular music circles during the 1920s as a songwriter and arranger contributing to dance numbers and novelty songs issued by Tin Pan Alley publishers. According to the Oxford Companion to Popular Music,[1] the piece had a "temporary vogue," and along with other dances such as the "Black Bottom," it overtook the Charleston in popularity.

Small folio, 12 x 9 inches, 5 pp.

Condition: Very good to excellent. Sheet music for "Build a Nest for Birdie," with music by James Tim Brymn (18811946) and lyrics by Richard C. McPherson (18731944), better known as Cecil Mack, prominently featuring an inset photographic portrait of singer, dancer, and choreographer Ada Overton Walker (18801914), widely billed as the "Queen of the Cakewalk." Walker, a central figure of early twentieth-century African American musical theatre, was closely associated with the Williams and Walker company and appeared in landmark productions including In Dahomey (1903), Abyssinia (1906), and Bandanna Land (1908); she frequently introduced new songs through stage performance. Brymn and Mack were frequent collaborators, producing popular songs such as "Good Morning, Carrie" (1901), "Josephine, My Jo" (1902), and "Please Go 'Way and Let Me Sleep" (1902). Mack, an important lyricist and entrepreneur within early Black commercial music networks, co-founded the Gotham Music Company with composer Will Marion Cook; in 1905 the firm merged with the Attucks Music Company to form Gotham-Attucks, one of the most significant African Americancontrolled publishing enterprises of the era. The company played a key role in promoting Black composers, performers, and theatrical material at a time when mainstream publishing houses often marginalized African American creators, issuing titles such as Bert Williams and Alex Rogers' "Nobody" (1905) and Cecil Mack, Lew Brown, and Ford Dabney's "That's Why They Call Me Shine" (1910). OCLC locates six institutional holdings. Sheet music measuring 10 ½ x 13 ½ inches. 6 pp including covers. Wrinkling and small tears and chips to bottom margin, some wrinkling to top right. Manuscript pencil "H Williams" on cover, erased.
