In 1921, he and his long-time collaborator Noble Sissle wrote “Shuffle Along,” one of the first Broadway musicals to be written and directed by African Americans (“In Dahomey” staring Williams and Walker in 1903 may have been the earliest). Recordings made of some of the most popular songs from “Shuffle Along” such as “I’m Just Wild About Harry,” “Baltimore Buzz,” and “Love Will Find a Way” were recorded by Eubie Blake and others at the time the musical was in its popular Broadway run. “Shuffle Along” was one of the biggest hits of the 1921 season and appealed to both African American and White audiences alike. The show was successful enough for Sissle and Blake to try for a revival of it in the early 1950s. While they wrote and recorded a new version they refer to as “Shuffle Along of 1950” on acetate discs, this version never made it to the stage. A reworked version in 1952 did, but only ran for four performances. The “Shuffle Along of 1950” recordings were only done as demo discs for potential sponsors and, except for a few selections used in a 2016 CD “Sissle and Blake Sing Shuffle Along” (issued on Harbinger Records), they have never been commercially released in their en-tirety. The demos use several of the original songs from the 1921 show but also include compositions never recorded anywhere.
