  • Robert Allen Cole Jr. (July 1, 1868 – August 2, 1911) was an American composer, actor, playwright, and stage producer and director. In collaboration with , he wrote and produced A Trip to Coontown (1898), the first musical entirely created and owned by black showmen. The popular song (1898) was also a result of their collaboration. Cole later partnered with brothers J. Rosamond Johnson, pianist and singer, and James Weldon Johnson, pianist, guitarist and lawyer, creating more than 200 songs. Their vaudeville act featured classical piano pieces and their musicals featured sophisticated lyrics without the usual stereotypes such as "hot-mamas" and watermelons. Success enabled Cole and Rosamond to tour America and Europe with their act. The trio's most popular songs were "" and "Under the Bamboo Tree" (1901?). Their more successful musicals were (1906) and (1908, written without Weldon). Cole was the pre‑eminent leader in the world of black musical theater both as a composer and as a performer. His skills in acting, writing, and directing were brought to the public eye through his early works: first, he produced the black musical “A Trip to Coontown”, where he joined alliance with Billy Johnson, followed by the production of popular songs such as “ Under the Bamboo Tree,” where he worked with J. Rosamond Johnson. Cole committed suicide by drowning himself in a creek in the Catskills in 1911 after a nervous breakdown and period of clinical depression that worsened in 1910. (en)
  • Robert Allen Cole Jr. (Athens, 1º luglio 1868 – 2 agosto 1911) è stato un compositore, attore, drammaturgo produttore teatrale e regista statunitense.In collaborazione con Billy Johnson, scrisse e produsse A Trip to Coontown (1898), il primo musical interamente creato e prodotto da showmen neri. Anche la canzone popolare La Hoola Boola (1898) fu il risultato della loro collaborazione. Cole in seguito collaborò con i fratelli J. Rosamond Johnson, pianista e cantante, e James Weldon Johnson, pianista, chitarrista e avvocato, creando più di 200 canzoni. Il loro vaudeville comprendeva brani classici per pianoforte e i loro musical contenevano testi sofisticati senza i soliti stereotipi come "hot-mamas" e stereotipo dell'anguria. Il successo consentì a Cole e Rosamond di girare l'America e l'Europa con il loro spettacolo. Le canzoni più popolari del trio erano "Louisiana Lize" e "Under the Bamboo Tree" (1901?). I loro musical di maggior successo furono The Shoo-Fly Regiment (1906) e The Red Moon (1908, scritto senza Weldon). Cole fu preminente nel mondo del teatro musicale nero sia come compositore che come interprete. Le sue abilità nella recitazione, nella scrittura e nella regia sono state portate alla ribalta attraverso i suoi primi lavori: in primo luogo produsse il musical nero "A Trip to Coontown" con Billy Johnson, seguito dalla produzione di canzoni popolari come "Under the Bamboo Tree", in collaborazione con J. Rosamond Johnson. Cole si suicidò annegandosi in un torrente nei monti Catskill nel 1911 dopo un esaurimento nervoso e un periodo di depressione che era peggiorata nel 1910. (it)
