Everything about Black And White Rag totally explained
Black and White Rag is a
1908 ragtime composition by
George Botsford.
One of the best known versions of this piece of music was recorded in
1952 by pianist
Winifred Atwell, and helped her to establish an international profile. Originally the B-side of another composition,
Cross Hands Boogie, Black and White Rag was championed by the popular disc jockey
Jack Jackson, and started a craze for Atwell's honky-tonk style of playing. The recording became a million selling gold record, and in the
UK was later used as the theme tune for the long-running
BBC2 television
snooker tournament,
Pot Black.
Black and White Rag was also later sampled for use as the music in the original 1985
BBC Computer game,
Repton.
The tune has also become a fiddle standard with recordings by musicians such as
Johnny Gimble and
Bennie Thomasson.
