I have 33 recordings of this as simply“Charleston Rag” but only this and four othersas “The Charleston Rag.” To my amazement, Icouldn’t find the sheet music in any of the bigcollecltions. But I did find the copyright:Charleston Rag; [by E. Blake, of U.S.];piano. © 1 c. Aug. 8, 1917; E 409294; EubiaBlake [sic], New York.Now another issue. Eubie always said that hecomposed this in 1899, but didn’t write it downand copyright it until many years later, whenhe learned to write music. What I remember isthat he originally called it “Sounds of Africa,”but Al Rose’s bio of Eubie quotes him assaying that actually, Will Marion Cook called it“Sounds of Africa” when Eubie first played itfor him. I’ve seen many references to thatearly title, and I have three recordings of thistune under that title, so we must put it in theindex as an alternative.Charley, My Boy (Gus Kahn–Ted Fiorito)Les Rois du Fox-Trot 1429Rats.
