"Alexander's Ragtime Band" was composed by Irving Berlin in 1911. It was his first big hit as a songwriter. There is evidence that he may have stole melody from the song "A Real Slow Drag", which Scott Joplin had already submitted for publishing. Emma Carus popularized the song in Chicago while Al Jolson did the same in New York City.
