The Songs of Cole and Johnson Brothers
"作曲家 J. Rosamond Johnson（《Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing》）晚年曾向他長期合作的出版商 E.B. Marks 提交了一份歌曲清單，其中包括他與 1910 年前的合作夥伴 Bob Cole 及其兄弟 James Weldon Johnson（《Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man》）共同創作的早期流行歌曲。這份清單從未付梓......直到現在。這本新合集由湯瑪斯-瑞斯博士（Thomas Riis）（《爵士樂誕生之前》）撰寫序言，並附有多張珍貴照片，是馬克斯檔案館的最新遺產，其中包含了世紀之交非洲裔美國人的豐富遺產，因此也是獨特的美國爵士樂時代之前的流行歌曲""

原文簡介:
“Late in his life, composer J. Rosamond Johnson (Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing) submitted to his longtime publisher, E.B. Marks, a list of songs that would comprise a volume of his best early popular songs written with his pre-1910 partner Bob Cole and his brother, James Weldon Johnson (Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man). That list was never put into print...until now. Featuring an introductionby Dr. Thomas Riis (Just Before Jazz) and several rare photos, this new compilation is the latest legacy offering from the Marks archive, which contains a rich heritage of turn-of-the-century African-American, and thus distinctly American, pre-jazz-era popular song.”
