LA PAS MA LA

by Ernest Hogan (1895)

Ernest Hogan was an early black composer of coon songs and ragtime. His 1896 song "All Coons Look Alike to Me" was a massive hit and one of the earliest popular ragtime songs.

His song La Pas Ma La from 1895 is incorrectly referred to as the "first" ragtime song by some historians. It wasnt first and it isn't truly "ragtime"...though it has ragtime elements.

The true first published ragtime song was "You've Been a Good Old Wagon, But You've Done Broke Down" by Ben Harney, which predates "La Pas Ma La" by almost a year.

Historians incorrectly give Ernest Hogan credit for writing the first rag because he was black. White Ben Harney is denied credit, despite being first, because it breaks the narrative that ragtime/jazz was black in origin when that is demonstrably false.

Despite its historical significance, I'm the first to record this song with words in a century!!

Here's what may be the second "ragtime" song ever published!

I AINT 'BLIGED TO STAN' NO NIGGER FOOLIN'

J. Frank Walsh (1897)

This song has NEVER been recorded before. You are hearing it for the first time in over a century!

Download the video/audio with original sheet music to support my efforts in reviving more of these classic American songs. There are thousands more like this, and most have never been recorded! I'm uniquely qualified for this task, but it will take significant time and effort. I see it as extremely historically valuable, and one of my most important missions.

All Coons Look Alike to Me

by Ernest Hogan (1896)

Download sheet music/audio/video: foundring.gumroad.com/l/ACLATM

This is one of the first ragtime songs ever published, in 1896. Ernest Hogan is often credited as the first composer to publish a ragtime song, but actually Ben Harney was over a year earlier with "You've Been a Good Old Wagon, But You've Done Broke Down" published in Jan 1895.

However, since the narrative was created early on that ragtime was exclusively Black American in origin, Harney was written out of history because he was White.

As a result, credit in mainstream history was given to Black Ernest Hogan. This created a predicament, since his first true rag had this very embarrassing noscript, even though the song itself isn't really that racist, since it's about a black chick ditching her deadbeat bf for someone more responsible.

So instead of just giving Harney credit, they cite an earlier Hogan song that isn't true ragtime.

This is a historically significant song, either way.
