Music and Lyrics by E. Ray Goetz, Joe Young & Pete Wendling - 1916
Lyricist Joe Young, the writer behind such classic songs as "Dinah", "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" and "I'm Sitting on Top of the World"
In 1916, he began a partnership with co-lyricist Sam M. Lewis that would last until the 1930's. Together the team wrote for the Broadway show Robinson Crusoe, Jr., which included "Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go With Friday on Saturday Night?" and "Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula". Both songs reached the #2 spot on the 1916 charts with recordings by Al Jolson.
Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula, Introduced by Al Jolson at the Winter Garden, NY, in 1916.
Al Jolson (May 28, 1886 -- October 23, 1950) was an American singer, comedian and actor. In his heyday, he was dubbed "The World's Greatest Entertainer"
Blackface is a form of theatrical makeup used in minstrel shows, and later vaudeville, in which performers create a stereotyped caricature of a black person. The practice gained popularity during the 19th century and contributed to the proliferation of stereotypes such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon". blackface minstrel shows were the national art of the time, translating formal art such as opera into popular terms for a general audience. Early in the 20th century, blackface branched off from the minstrel show and became a form in its own right, until it ended in the United States with the U.S. Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. The Netherlands continues to celebrate St. Nicolas Eve with Zwarte Piet in full blackface Moorish costume.
