"Shine" history
Dabney composed several ragtimes, including:
- From His Honor the Barber, first produced by S.H. Dudley in 1909, with a notable production by Dudley in 1911 at the Majestic Theater, currently the site if the Time Warner Center; stars included Dudley and Aida Overton Walker (1880–1914), who sang "Shine"[1]
- "Shine" (©1910), R.C. McPherson (aka Cecil Mack) and Ford Dabney, publisher[i] words Cecil Mack, music by Dabney. The song (which was originally called "That's Why They Call Me Shine"). Artists who recorded "Shine" include:
| “ | According to songwriter Perry Bradford, the song was inspired by a real person named 'Shine' (possibly 'Kid Shine'), a street tough who was a friend of George Walker, and who was caught with Walker in the New York City race riot of August 1900 | ” |
| — (attribution?)[2] | ||
| “ | Not only do the lyrics echo themes in Paul Laurence Dunbar's 1895 poem 'We Wear the Mask,' the text signifies what Du Bois calls living a 'double life, with double thoughts, double duties, and double social classes ... ' The lyrics of 'Shine' draw our attention to the double consciousness of racial identity, and parody racism through inverting the position of the signifier. The signifier (Walker) inverts the signified (racial identification; i.e., names), subverting racist signification. 'Shine,' Richard Newman writes, 'is almost a song of social protest in its antiracism.'[3] | ” |
In 1924, fourteen years after "Shine" was published, Lew Brown changed the lyrics from a black man singing about himself to a shoe shine man who has a sunny outlook.
