Morse, Theodore F. (1873-1924) & Madden, Edward. (1878-1952). I've Got a Feelin' for You.

Popular song for voice and piano by the singer-songwriter team of the early 20th century, in the style of "coon shouting." New York: F.B. De Haviland, 1904. Full-page cover illustration including a photograph of Elida Morris (1886-1977), who apparently performed the song, as well as a drawn depiction of a black man conversing with a white woman on a bench. 3-5 pp. Signature of former owner, "Pauline Hicks." Damp stained and slightly frayed to edges. 13.75 x 10.5 inches. 

A surprising song from the genre, about an interracial love, the cover illustrating the opening text of the song, "Mizz Liza loved a bashful coon who'd keep a gazin' at the moon or talkin' 'bout the shinin' starts above..."

"Coon shouting" was a performing style adopted by white female singers in the beginning twentieth century that imitated Black singers vocally and sometimes involving blackface. Elida Morris was one of its practitioners.
