Description: "Oh! Susanna," written in 1847 and published in 1848, made Stephen Foster an instant success as a composer and launched his musical career. Inspired by blackface minstrel groups he encountered while working for his brother in Cincinnati, Foster wrote "Oh! Susanna" in the minstrel tradition. "Susanna" was published by Peters & Field, a local music store, but a New York publisher pirated the song, publishing it under the name E. P. Christy. The song quickly gained popularity by means of Christy's minstrels in Manhattan as well as a new polka fad sweeping the United States. "Oh! Susanna" is considered the first minstrel song to enter the middle-class market.
