| Notes: | Margie was composed by vaudeville performer and pianist Con Conrad and ragtime pianist J. Russel Robinson, with lyrics by Benny Davis. The song is named for the five-year-old daughter of singer and songwriter Eddie Cantor. A jazz standard, it has been covered by zillions of people, including Bix Beiderbecke, Cab Calloway, Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Mercer, Dave Brubeck and Ray Charles. Check out Brother Bones’ version, recorded almost 30 years after this one. This version is a medley of Margie and Singin’ the Blues. |

We'd love to hear from you! If you have any information about Original Dixieland Jazz Band or about Original Dixieland Jazz Band's recordings, please leave a comment.
I have a first printing of the Dixie jass band one-step.
“that teasing rag” side a and
Livery stable blues–fox trot on side b. #18255 along with original picture of band, also protected in original metal case.
Any idea of worth???
Chris – Much of it depends upon condition. That record, in excellent condition, could fetch $20 or $25 – maybe even $30, if you find the right buyer. It was recorded in May, 1917, so it will be 100 years old next spring. To have survived for that long in excellent condition is a feat! Thanks for writing!
