Harry S. Miller
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikisource has original works written by or about:
Harry S. Miller was a lyricist and sometimes composer who lived in New York and Chicago in the 19th and early 20th centuries and is best known for his song "The Cat Came Back: A Comic Negro Absurdity", published in 1893.
Miller's songs were part of Tin Pan Alley, and were sold to various TPA entertainers (for example, vaudeville entertainer Tony Pastor popularized The Cat Came Back).[1] He specialized in quatrains and often wrote using a Georgian Black dialect.
Most of his music was published by Edward Taylor Paull (and the E.T. Paull Co.), a New England publisher at the time[2], who also composed "He's Goin' to Hab a Hot Time Bye an' Bye" for Miller.
