This sheet music has general wear and light aging. Two very small tape repairs on spine. Overall VG. Mandy Lou was written by two African-American composers. Will Marion Cook did the music and R. C. McPherson (also known as Cecil Mack) the lyrics. Will Marion Cook studied with Dvorak and achieved much success producing African-American musical plays. R. C. McPherson was a lyricist and composer who also founded the first African-American music publishing company in New York, Gotham Music which later merged with Attucks Music. Mack was responsible for publishing many of the songs made famous by Bert Williams and George Walker. Mandy Lou has a great association between Cook and Mack.

Softcover. Etat : Very Good. Cover illustration by Starmer. Folio. Single bifolium with a single-sheet-insert making six pages. Some of the lyrics crossed out and altered in pen (more below), exterior rubbed, and light edgewear, very good. For voice and piano. Plate imprint, "Mandy Lou 3." Features short samples of two other songs. The front cover features a photograph of an unidentified harpist. Above the music, the title "Mandy Lou" has been crossed out and written above it is the racial pejorative "S*mbo." Throughout the song, the lyrics are altered to reflect this new title, replacing "her" with "him," "maiden" with "laddie," and of course "Mandy Lou" with the aforementioned offensive term. Based on the penmanship we believe these alterations to be contemporary. An upsetting but historically intriguing piece; while the original lyrics are problematic by today's standards, at its heart this is a simple love song sung by a man to his sweetheart. The alterations reduce the lyrics to a jumble of nonsense all in pursuit of shoehorning in a racial slur. It makes one wonder just what sort of parlor this was being performed in, as well as to ponder the implications of a commercial music culture in which the creators inadvertently hand over control of their work by publishing it for others to perform and thus alter.
