Ethel WatersBlack And Blue |
|
|
|
|
|
 In the 1980s, numerous black entertainers embraced this number as one of the first protest songs. Indeed it was, but perhaps not quite in the way they envisioned it. Ethel Waters here sings the rarely performed verse, which reveals that it's actually about racial prejudice and oppression within the black community. Waters influenced an entire generation of singers who followed her: a born survivor, she appeared on Broadway, developed into a fine dramatic actress (Carson McCullers' The Member Of The Wedding), and later in life became a prominent spokesperson for Rev. Billy Graham's revivalist movement.(A. Razaf/T. Waller/H. Brooks); Produced by Frank Walker; Ethel Waters, vocal, accompanied by Mannie Klein, trumpet; Ben Selvin, violin; Frank Signorelli, piano; Joe Tarto, string bass; Rec. New York, April 1, 1930. Columbia 78 RPM 2184-D (mx W.150160-3); Originally Released 1930  |
