But from the first jazzy, syncopated beats of composers Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake's inspired musical number, New York audiences fell head over heels for 'Shuffle Along,' which was unlike anything they had seen before. 'Footnotes' is the story of how Sissle and Blake, along with comedians Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles, overcame poverty, racism, and violence to harness the energy of the Harlem Renaissance and produce a runaway Broadway hit that launched the careers of many of the twentieth century's most beloved

Pop culture expert Caseen Gaines leads readers through the glitz and glamour of New York City during the Roaring Twenties to reveal the revolutionary impact one show had on generations of Americans and how its legacy continues to resonate today.
