Warning - This song is politically incorrect! This nonsensical love song was first published in 1848. When Stephen Foster was 16 (in 1843), he worked as a bookkeeper for his brother Morrison, who was a friend of Dan Rice, one of the first blackface clowns. This was the year that Dan Emmett established the first blackface minstrel troupe in New York and so-called "Ethiopian" songs were becoming popular. Foster wrote his first minstrel song, "Old Uncle Ned" and it was performed by the minstrel troupe, The Sable Harmonists. His second song, "Away Down Souf," was written for a contest sponsored by The Eagle Saloon in 1847, and his third effort was this now famous song, under the name "Susanna". He was paid $100 by publishers, Peters and Field, but a New York publisher beat them to it with a pirated edition naming EP Christy of the popular Christy's Minstrels as the author. This Manhattan based group became the main performers of Foster's minstrel songs in the 1850s. "Oh, Susanna" was one of the first minstrel songs to be considered acceptable to the middle classes, possibly because it coincided with the sudden popularity of polka which was arriving from Europe. Early recordings of the song include Dan Hornsby and the Young Brothers Tennessee Band (1927) and Arthur Fields. Since then it has been recorded by many great artists - such as Roy Rogers, Lew Dite, Johnny Cash and James Taylor. These days the minstrel/blackface tradition is seen as a form of racism. The blackface ...
According to David Foll (Foster - American Dreamer) Stephen Foster invented pop music! Bob Dylan once said in context of studying song form and structure, "I go back to Stephen Foster". His songs are amazingly simple yet memorable and I have no doubt that if he was only born 75 years later, he would have been tough competition for Berlin, Gershwin, and others, and would have even made money!

Recorded Nov. 1931 on Hit Of The Week Records by Durium by Phil Spitalny & Helen Rowland. "Shine On, Harvest Moon" is the name of a popular early-1900s song credited to Jack Norworth and his wife Nora Bayes. It was one of a series of moon related Tin Pan Alley songs of the era. The song was debuted by the composers in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1908 to great acclaim. It became a pop standard, still very familiar some 40 years later, and continues to be performed and recorded occasionally into the 21st century. During the time period, songs were often sold outright, and the purchaser would become the songwriter of record. John Kenrick's Who's Who In Musicals credits songwriters Edward Madden and Gus Edwards, while others credit David Stamper, songwriter for 14 Ziegfeld Follies and Bayes' pianist from 1903 to 1908. Like many old popular songs, the verses are often left out, although the verses for this song are musically quite good and set off the chorus well. Also like many songs of that era, the song has an ethnic undercurrent. The duet of Billy Murray and Ada Jones recorded a popular version of the song. They performed the song in a stereotyped African American style, though not taken to the excess of some other recordings of that era. Lyrics: First verse The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see, For the moon refused to shine. Couple sitting underneath a willow tree, For love they did pine. Little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness So she said, "I guess I'll go ...
