Minstrel Jubilee Quartets contributed to a music style that played part in the foundation of the twentieth century Black community quartets. Minstrel Jubilee Quartets resulted in both black and white minstrel groups including African American jubilee singing groups in their shows during the late 1800’s. Their exposure led to an increase in desire of black male quartets in the commercial industry. While Minstrel Jubilee Quartets were influenced by the Fisk University Jubilee Quartet, they managed to exceed the entertainment demands of the pop culture of that time. As a result of black Minstrel Jubilee Quartets “gained recognition, income, entertainment skills, and business acumen, which otherwise were unable to be done by African American performers of the time. While winning the Adoration of black as well as white audiences, they successfully integrated into an entertainment world previously reserved for whites” (Burnim and Maultsby 76)
