Black Music Sunday is a weekly series highlighting all things Black music, with over 235 stories covering performers, genres, history, and more, each featuring its own vibrant soundtrack. I hope you’ll find some familiar tunes and perhaps an introduction to something new.
Three great keyboardists and composers share the same birthday today, so I’m throwing a party for all of them. According to many music historians, Scott Joplin was born on Nov. 24, 1868. Theodore Shaw Wilson, known to the world as Teddy Wilson, was born on Nov. 24, 1912. And William Strethen Davis, who used the stage name Wild Bill Davis, joined our world on Nov. 24, 1918.
