The name Eubie Blake
Entertainment that fits the slate
The mood of swing was the evening date
Eubie Blake being the Jazz Pianist turning musical notes into a hit
It didn’t matter the Rhythm, as every dance step would fit
It was swing that made you move
Dancing with feeling that essence to soothe
The ivories that were played to perfection
But it was Mr. Blake’s pure talent that added the appreciation
Entertain he felt
Eubie Blake turned up the heat and wherever he played all the dance floors would melt
He performed at more than a piano
His music could be heard high above on patio
Mr. Blake was a superstar of his own called “EUBIE” on Broadway and appeared in Movies
Currently, SHUTTLE ALONG is playing on Broadway
Eubie Blake wrote it
He is also my Great Uncle
With every single beat, you were bound to move your feet
This was My Uncle’s musical treat
A dance twist having a musical wish
However, Eubie Blake, my Great Uncle wants everyone to continue to dance and that’s his insist
I still hear the ivories playing
It’s Jazz and more Jazz in the spotlight of relay.
