IN Humble ResponseYES, AMERICA'S ALWAYS HAD TALENT

OMG, WHERE TO BEGIN?

The screaming', hilarious, Spike Jones, from 1942, with " Clink, clink, Another Drink~"



Al Jolsen, with the "CAMPTOWN RACES", from 1927?



Scott Joplin with the "Crush Collision  Rag" from 1896?



OMG, WHERE TO STOP, WITH AMERICA'S TALENT, WHEY BACK WHEN--

"Listen to the Mockingbird", Frank C. Stanley & Corinne Morgan
circa 1860: 

BEFORE THAT, IT WAS VERY, VERY MOSTLY POLITICAL JIJNGLES,
like this one from 1840, "Tippycanoe and Tyler, Too":



Officially, there was nothing before this except 
Indian songs, really...
