The 1890’s saw the syncopated ‘ragtime’ rhythms of Scott Joplin become popular and the ‘coon song’ soon followed. The ‘coon song’ was named after a song written in ‘ragtime’ by black performer Ernest Hogan called “All Coons Look Alike to Me” in 1890. The song is about a “dusky maiden” forced to choose between two handsome black men. The song became a big hit at the time and its title became a ‘catch phrase’ leading to the latest ‘ragtime numbers’ being called ‘coon songs’.
