Primrose and West

George H. Primrose and Billy West
Program for Thatcher, Primrose & West's Minstrels, late 1800s.

Primrose and West was an American blackface song-and-dance team made up of partners George Primrose and William H. "Billy" West. They later went into the business of minstrel troupe ownership with a refined, high-class approach that signaled the final stage in the development of minstrelsy as a distinct form of entertainment.[1]
