"Ethiopia Rag" 1909 "Excelsior Rag" 1909 "American Beauty Rag" 1913 "Ragtime Nightingale" 1915 "The Top Liner Rag" 1916 B The “light” Rags Which Have The Cakewalk Tradition Show The Narrow-Range Melodies Inspired By Joplin. This Style Of Rags Includes

Lamb’s Works Show Individual Stylistic Traits. First He Uses Sequence For Development Purposes. Second He Emphasizes On The Harmonic Sonority Of The Diminished Seventh With Upper-Neighbor Appoggiatura. His Contributions To The Ragtime Literature Also Show His Unique Traits. He Used A Great Diversity Of Texture For All Of His Rags. In Addition Lamb Surpassed Ragtime’s Usual Four-Measure Phrase Structure.

With The Revival Of Interest In Ragtime In The 1950s Lamb Shared His Memories Of Joplin And Other Early Ragtime Figures With Music Historians. Many Were Surprised To Find That Not Only Was He Still Living But That He Was White. He Also Composed Some New Rags Brought Out Some Of His Old Compositions That Had Never Been Published And Made Some Recordings.
Lamb Died In Brooklyn Of A Heart Attack At Age 72.
