James White
Last updated: 26.01.20
All that can be gleaned about James White is taken from the covers of his known published works. He was a composer and songwriter of popular music between 1913 and 1919 seeming to have Chicago connections. Both his publishers, Will Rossiter and Roger Graham, were based there. He is best known for his much recorded The Original Chicago Blues, a ragtime/blues mixture much in the style of William C. Handy's Memphis Blues (1913). Also of ragtime interest is his My Favorite Rag (1915).
