Amos 'n' Andy
An American radio and television sitcom set in Manhattan's historic black community of Harlem, which was popular from the 1920s through the 1950s. Amos 'n' Andy which began on March 19, 1928 on WMAQ, the Chicago Daily News radio station, was created, written and voiced by two white actors, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, who played a number of different characters, including the titular Amos Jones (Gosdon) and Andrew Hogg Brown (Correll). The creators later said they named the characters Amos and Andy after hearing two elderly African-Americans greet each other by those names in a Chicago elevator. Most of these are clips of individual bits from the show.The Old Time Radio Catalog | Back to the Amos n' Andy Catalog
