Jacques Wolfe is credited with writing "Short'nin' Bread" in 1928. The song is a vaudeville "blackface" song written for stage during blackface shows. The music was published by Harold Flammer and distributed by G. Schirmer in New York.

Also set "Three Negro Poems" by Clement Wood to music for "medium or low voice and piano." Published in 1928 by G. Schirmer, the three songs are entitled: Debil-Foot, De Glory Road and Gwine to Hebb'n. De Glory Road appears dedicated to Paul Robeson.
