Published by Genuine American Music. ©1942 W.C.
Handy. W.C. HANDY (1873-1958), who was known as the "Father of the
Blues", did not invent the "Blues", but he was one of the first to use
the term in a song title ("Memphis Blues" in 1912), and he published "blue
notes" in his compositions, which also included "Beale Street Blues" (1916).
Handy, who conducted his own band (1903-1921)before becoming a music
publisher in the 1920s, was a popular performer until the mid-1940s, when he
retired due to failing eyesight. Lightly toned and creased. Adhesive residue on
back cover, with paper loss over title and first bars of Atlanta Blues.
Stain in upper right corner of back cover. Otherwise, fine
condition.
