| Info | James Hubert Blake (February 7, 1887[1][2][3] – February 12, 1983) was an American composer, lyricist, and pianist of ragtime, jazz, and popular music. In 1921, Blake and long-time collaborator Noble Sissle wrote the Broadway musical Shuffle Along, one of the first Broadway musicals to be written and directed by African Americans.

The musical Eubie! featured the works of Blake and opened on Broadway in 1978.
