| (Henry Creamer/Turner Layton) |
| (o): | James P. Johnson's Harmony Eight (1921) | label: Okeh |
| | Without James P. Johnson. First part clearly influenced by spiritual Deep River (1916) Copyright holder Harry T. Burleigh's furious reaction upon hearing the similarity, targetted black co-authors Creamer & Layton in the first place. How could brothers turn sacred material into ordinary jazz? ("How can it be stopped?") Creamer & Layton also cowrote After You've Gone and Way Down Yonder In New Orleans. |
