Noble Sissle

Original - Noble Sissle in 1951, portrait by Carl van Vechten.

File:I'm Just Wild About Harry 1b.jpg

Part 2 - Cover page for the sheet music to "I'm Just Wild About Harry" from the musical Shuffle Along by Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, 1921.

Reason

Another nomination set: a restored portrait of lyricist Noble Sissle and a restored period sheet music cover to one of his most famous songs, "I'm Just Wild About Harry". Noble Sissle was part of a team that broke the color barrier in Broadway theater with the 1921 show Shuffle Along; this was its most popular number and was later selected by President Harry Truman as his election campaign song in 1948. These two files correspond to the featured sound File:Eubie Blake - Just Wild about Harry.ogg for the "A recording, a score, and a portrait" series at Wikipedia:WikiProject Media Restoration.

• Support Original. Effective enough photo of the man in question. I can't understand how they form a 'set' though - remove the cover sheet from the article and it doesn't detract from the photo. So just support original. --jjron (talk) 15:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
