Andriamanantena Paul Razafinkarefo Andy Razaf (December 16, 1895 – February 3, 1973) was an African-American poet, composer and lyricist of such well-known songs as "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose".

Biography Razaf was born in Washington, D.C. His birth name was Andriamanantena Paul Razafinkarefo. He was the son of Henri Razafinkarefo, nephew of Queen Ranavalona

III of Imerina kingdom in Madagascar, and Jennie (Waller) Razafinkarefo, the daughter of John L. Waller, the first African American consul to Imerina. The French invasion of Madagascar left his father dead, and forced his pregnant 15-year-old mother to escape to the United States, where he was born in 1895.

He was raised in Harlem, Manhattan, and at the age of 16 he quit school and took a job as an elevator operator at a Tin Pan Alley office building. A year later he penned his first song text, embarking on his career as a lyricist. During this time he would spend many nights in the Greyhound Lines bus station in Times Square and would pick up his mail at the Gaiety Theatre office building which was considered the black Tin Pan Alley.

Some of Razaf's early poems were published in 1917–18 in the Hubert Harrison-edited Voice, the first newspaper of the "New Negro Movement". Razaf collaborated with composers Eubie Blake, Don Redman, James P. Johnson, Harry Brooks, and Fats Waller.

Among the best-known Razaf-Waller collaborations are "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Honeysuckle Rose", "The Joint Is Jumpin'", "Willow Tree", "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" and "(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue". His music was played by other Tin Pan Alley musicians, as well as Benny Goodman, Eubie Blake, Cab Calloway and many others. He was a contributor and editor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League's Negro World newspaper.

He also wrote quite a number of raunchy 'character' blues-type songs for many of the women blues singers of the 1920s. He also made a number of records as vocalist (both as solo and as vocalist for jazz groups, including a handful by James P. Johnson and Fletcher Henderson).

In 1972, Razaf was recognized by his Tin Pan Alley peers in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Death Razaf died in North Hollywood, California from cancer, aged 77.

Songs The Songwriters Hall of Fame entry on Andy Razaf lists 215 compositions, giving co-writers and publishers. He had many unpublished songs; Singer's biography lists more than 800, published and unpublished (but without giving lyrics). Some notable lyrics include:

"Baltimo", composed at the age of 17, was sung by members of The Passing Show of 1913 at the Winter Garden, New York.

"Mound Bayou", named for Mound Bayou an independent Black community in Mississippi, the original song was sung by Maxine Sullivan, and was on an album dedicated to his work, A Tribute to Andy Razaf.

"Ain't Misbehavin'”

"Black and Blue"

"Garvey! Hats Off to Garvey"

"Honeysuckle Rose"

"In the Mood"

"The Joint Is Jumpin'"

"Keepin' Out of Mischief Now"

"Louisiana"

"Stompin' at the Savoy"

"That's What I Like About the South"

"UNIA" Recordings

Although Razaf's songs are found on hundreds of recordings, there are only two albums devoted exclusively to his compositions:

Maxine Sullivan, A Tribute to Andy Razaf, 1956, produced by Leonard Feather, re-issued in 2006 as My Memories of You with two additional non-Razaf tracks.

Bobby Short, Guess Who's in Town, 1987, re-released in 2001 in tandem with Bobby Short Loves Cole Porter.

Poems Wired, Hired, Fired, an expression of grief and sorrow that color bars

one fitted to position (that is, one otherwise qualified for or well suited to the job is barred on the basis of race).

Jack Johnson, touching on defeat with honor.

Theme: "THE BLESSED LOVE OF MOTHERS” Scripture: She watches over the affairs of

her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her

husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things but you surpass them all. Give her

the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (Proverbs 31:10-31)

Focused Family Prayer - As we progress through this month of May, one of the most powerful

celebrations is that of Mother’s Day. For those who still have moms living on this earth, our

memories are many, and we still glean from their presence in our lives. Such a blessing! For those

whose mothers have transitioned on, the memories and lessons taught remain with us, and they

continue to define who we are becoming. Let joy be with us all as our mothers truly have blessed

us, never truly leaving us. Let us take time to thank GOD for our mothers and have joy for who

they are and what they mean to us. WE LOVE YOU, MOM!
