Noted Negro Singer to
Give Program on
Monday Eve
Especial to The Herald.)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.-An hour
Of folk songs and spirituals Of the
negro race, with Harry Burleigh.
foremost colored musician of the
world, singing them with orchestral,
band and choral accompaniment, will
feature the F~rigidaire program in the
series Of General Motor family par
ties on Monday evening, Feb. 20.
Burleigh is one Of the outstand-
ing leaders who has brought dignity
and distinction to his race. For
thirty-five years he has been the
principal soloist Of St. Georges Epis-
copal church in New York City, re-
tanned over that long period by 9
white congregation because OF the
beautiful quality Of his baritone
voice and his devotion to religious
music. Not only in the vocal field,
however, has he attained recogni-
ton. He is given full credit in the
world of music for having saved Sie
now famous negro folk songs and
spirituals from oblivion. Years OF
research and study of the music OF
his own people have result. in the
composition and arrangement by him
of n hundred and thirty-five OF
these songs, whose beginnings 20
back to days Of antiquity among the
black tribes Of Africa. His best
known composition of this nature Is
Deep River"
Burleigh was a poor bow, born Of
obscure parents in Erie, Penn, 81
years ago, the grandson Of a slave.
His success in music has been coin
cident with a long struggle for liveli-
hood in a restricted field Of endea-
varying from deck hand to book
keeper. In spite Of these limita-
tions he managed to work his way
through school and TO graduate from
Howard University in Washington,
D. c. During later years his path
has been smoother, as his great
voice and his compositions ha.>
brought him substantial remunera-
tion.
The spirituals Of the American
negro to be sung Monday evening are
said to constitute the most extensive
and varied body Of folk song that
is still alive and growing in any
civilized country today.
The program is TO be heard over
thirty stations from the New YORK
studios Of the National Broadcasting
company.
