Bring in ‘Da Noise, Bring in ’Da Funk
These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

- It started with a riff on the Bible: “In the beginning was ’Da beat!” Reg E. Gaines’s book then took audiences on the boats that brought slaves to America.

- Noise/Funk did have a book of sorts by the spoken-word poet Reg E. Gaines. This book traced the history of oppression against African Americans but rendered it as the evolution of a beat and the expression of that beat in motion.

What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
- Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
- Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
- Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — book writer, lyricist — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
