Who is Les C. Copeland?

Leslie Crawford Copeland was an American composer and pianist. Leslie was the youngest of six children born to Willis Emerson Copeland and Fannie Amelia Searles. He was an acquaintance of S. Brunson Campbell, a white player who had studied under Scott Joplin in Sedalia, Missouri. In his late teens, he performed in Lew Dockstader's minstrel troupe, the Lew Dockstader Minstrels. At this same time, he would write three notable rags which were featured in the Minstrels: Cabbage Leaf Rag, Invitation Rag, and the Dockstader Rag. He also wrote songs during this time. After 1912, Copeland left the Dockstader company and began performing in vaudeville, working for various companies including that of Benjamin Franklin Keith. During this time, he wrote several songs for vaudeville with lyricist Jean Havez. He also wrote his famous "38th Street Rag" in this period. Copeland continued performing, eventually contributing a song to the Ziegfeld Follies of 1917. His work took him across the U.S. and parts of Europe, performing at various venues such as the New York Bar in New York City in 1922, The Jockey Club in Montparnasse in 1923, drawing crowds of up to four times the tiny building's capacity, and the Deauville Club in New York City in 1926. By 1930, Copeland remained in the U.S. on a more consistent basis, working in the music industry in Manhattan. Some newspapers state that "Les Copeland, former international cabaret pianist is in Wall Street", indicating that he may have dabbled in finances for a while, although this is unconfirmed. In 1933, he was confirmed to be back at work improvising at the piano in New York City nightclubs. Playing jobs were becoming scarce during the Great Depression for Copeland and others who didn't adapt to new forms of music. He ended up in San Francisco in the mid 1930s, enjoying the traditional jazz/ragtime revival thanks to the efforts of Lu Watters and Wally Rose a few years later. In the 1940 census, Copeland and his wife, Hazel, were listed as living on Montgomery Street, with Les working as a dramatic teacher. Copeland died in San Francisco at the age of 54 in 1942.
