Ernest Hogan (born Ernest Reuben Crowdus; 1865 – May 20, 1909〔"Ernest Hogan Dead." ''Billboard'', May 29, 1909.〕) was the first African-American entertainer to produce and star in a Broadway show (''The Oyster Man'' in 1907) and helped popularized the musical genre of ragtime.〔Lynn Abbott & Doug Seroff, ''(Ragged but Right: Black Traveling Shows, "Coon Songs," and the Dark Pathway to Blues and Jazz )'' (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2008), ''passim'', ISBN 1-57806-901-7.〕 A native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, as a teenager Hogan worked in traveling minstrel shows as a dancer, musician, and comedian. In 1895 Hogan published several popular songs in a new musical genre, which he named ragtime.〔(Ernest Hogan Ragtime Originator ) biography website, researched by Ray Buckberry, accessed January 11, 2007.〕 These hit songs included "La Pas Ma La" and "All Coons Look Alike to Me". The success of this last song created many derogatory imitations, known as "coon songs" because of their use of racist and stereotypical images of blacks. While Hogan was considered one of the most talented performers and comedians of his day,〔''Tap Roots: The Early History of Tap Dancing'' by Mark Knowles, McFarland & Company, 2002, ISBN 0-7864-1267-4, pages 119-20.〕 his contribution to the racist "coon song" craze haunted him. Before his death, he stated that he "regretted" using the racial slur in his song. == Early years == He was born Ernest Reuben Crowders, in the Shake Rag District of Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 1865. As a teenager, he traveled with a minstrel troupe called the Georgia Graduate, where he performed as a dancer, musician, and comedian. During this time he changed his name to Hogan because "Irish performers were in vogue."〔 Hogan likely performed in blackface during this time, as he sometimes did later in his career.〔
