Thread Name: Info: Harry C. Browne
Subject: RE: Harry C. Browne
Harry C. Browne also recorded other racist songs I'm afraid, including "I Loves You Mister Coon"/De Colored Barbecue (Columbia A-3678, 1922).

"Nigger Loves a Watermelon, Ha! Ha! Ha! came out in 1916 as Columbia A1999.

Reminding anyone interested in the career of Harry Clinton Browne that he recorded these is part of American music history. It is interesting to find openly racist songs reflecting the Jim Crow mood of the time.
