A substantial accumulation of blues sheets centered on the work of W. C. Handy (18731958), the composer widely known as the "Father of the Blues." Spanning more than four decades of publication and assembled over many decades by a Chicago-area collector, the group documents both the popularity of Handy's compositions and the central role his publishing enterprises played in bringing blues music into the American popular music mainstream. Pace & Handy, the pioneering Black-owned music publishing firm founded in 1912 by Handy and businessman Harry H. Pace, published many of the early issues. The company was among the first African Americanowned music publishers to achieve national commercial success, issuing blues compositions at a time when Black musicians rarely controlled the publication or profits of their work. Pace & Handy helped establish the blues as a recognized commercial genre and laid the groundwork for later Black-owned enterprises in music and recording. The group includes several of Handy's most famous compositions, among them "Beale Street Blues," "Yellow Dog Blues," and "The Memphis Blues." At the center of the collection are numerous editions and arrangements of "St. Louis Blues," Handy's most celebrated composition and one of the most widely recorded songs in American music history. First published in 1914, it appeared over the following decades in numerous new arrangements and promotional editions reflecting performances by major bandleaders and orchestras such as Paul Whiteman, Earl Hines, Tex Beneke, and Erskine Hawkins, as well as theatrical and film adaptations including the revue Blackbirds of 1928 and the later 1958 motion picture St. Louis Blues.
