Music in the 1920s? What are some artists/songs?

Wikipedia is the answer

It can't be jazz??? Everything in the 20s was jazz. *sigh*

How about a timeline of the 1920's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_music_in_the_United_States_(1920_-_1949)

- Bascom Lamar Lunsford, a regionally famous passionate advocate for Appalachian music, becomes the first person to record old-time banjo music, with "Jesse James" and "I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground", - Meade Lux Lewis records "Honky Tonk Train Blues", the first boogie woogie hit and an enduring classic of the piano blues. - Vaudevillean Mamie Smith records "Crazy Blues" for Okeh Records, the first blues song commercially recorded by an African American singer. - Trixie Smith, a popular blues singer, recorded "My Man Rocks Me (With One Steady Roll)", one of the earliest uses of the term rock and roll in popular music. - Charlie Poole leads a group recording several songs, most successfully including "Deal", which will inspire numerous rural performers to imitate this repertoire and three-finger banjo style. - A recording of "Blue Ridge Mountain Blues" by Al Hopkins & His Buckle Busters may be the first recording of twin fiddles in the field then known as hillbilly music, though the song is now considered an early classic of bluegrass. - Joseph and Cleoma Breaux Falcon record "Allons a Lafayette", a major hit that marks the beginning of the commercial recording of Cajun music. - Tampa Red, with Thomas Dorsey, kickstarts the hokum craze with "Tight Like That". - Hoagy Carmichael's "Star Dust" is an extraordinarily sentimental ballad, selling millions of copies and being recorded hundreds of times in dozens of arrangements and languages. - Fiddlin' John Carson recorded "Little Log Cabin in the Lane". - The first commercial recording of what can be considered country music was "Sallie Gooden" by fiddlist A.C. (Eck) Robertson in 1922.

I'm doing a Decade Project for the '20s, and not having a Jazz song in your top ten would be very hard to complete. The '20s are best known for Swing and Jazz. So good luck to you!

"We're In The Money" is one of the most popular songs that was made in the 1920's. It was made when the stock market crashed. Also, "Putting On The Ritz" is another hit from the 1920's. * VOTE FOR BEST ANSWER*
