Oh, Them Golden Slippers Sheet Music
also known as Oh, Dem Golden Slippers Sheet Music Artist and Writer: James A. Bland |
James A. Bland's song "Oh, Them Golden
Slippers" or "Oh Dem Golden Slippers" started life in 1879 as a
minstrel parody of a spiritual sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. That spiritual ran:
"What kind of shoes you going to wear?
Golden slippers!
Golden slippers I'm bound to wear,
That outshine the sun."
James A Bland (1854-1919) published most of his songs in a burst of creativity from
1878 to 1881. In 1881 he left America for Europe with Haverly's Genuine
Colored Minstrels, and stayed in Europe when the troupe returned.
Perhaps he continued to write songs after 1881; if so, very few were
published.
