Here is early Black recording artist George W. Johnson singing "The Laughing Coon" on Edison 2 minute wax cylinder. I played this on my Columbia BKT Graphophone. Johnson possessed a very robust and contagious laugh and I'm sure his success in obtaining recording contracts was assisted greatly by his ability to produce a hearty laugh during recording sessions. As always, I thank you for stopping in for a visit and hope you enjoy the video.
