Looking for:
Thats why darkies were born-

Robeson, arguably the most famous black actor and singer of his day, and a leading and very controversial civil rights advocate, would never have recorded a piece he thought in any way insulting or detrimental to the black race.
He not only recorded it, but sang it in concert. It was written by Brown and Henderson for a Broadway show, and sung in it by concert baritone Everett Marshall. It was also sung on the radio back in those days by singers as distinguished as Nelson Eddy and Igor Gorin. Obviously again, read the lyrics , it was intended as a tribute to the unhappy history of blacks rather than as any kind of insult to them. Robeson would have understood this better than just about anyone.
Todd Decker, a professor of musicology and American culture studies at Washington University in St. Louis, said the song was first written for Broadway and sung by Everett Marshall, a white baritone who performed it in blackface. She was 24 years old. I want everyone to realize that. She was a BABY in the music business. Mais acessados. Todos Rock Gospel Sertanejo Mais.
