  • -History:
    "Old Folks at Home" was commissioned in 1851 by E. P. Christy for use by Christy's Minstrels, his minstrel troupe. Christy also asked to be credited as the song's creator, and was so credited on early sheet music printings. As a result, while the song was a success, Foster did not directly profit much from it, though he continued to receive royalties for the song.
    The song was written in a period when 11 states of te US were still practicing slavery. The original lyrics of the song are sang with a African American accent. The song and its original lyrics has thus been critisized of romanticising slavery. This recording however, has slightly altered lyrics and was recorded in 1906.
    -The record:

    -Disclaimer:
    This song is not made by me! I simply record vinyl and shellac records, upload them on youtube and tell a bit of history.
    I do not promote any type of idiology, hate or anything of the sort. This video is made to educate people about history through old music.
