You have to love the electronic age! I met Ethel Waters when I was in high school and did a paper on her life. Altho in her 70's, she was still larger than life. She gave me a big hug because I had the same name as the grandmother who raised her - how lovely that I can hear her singing now.

The song was suppertime from a 1933 Broadway show called As Thousands Cheer. The songs in the show had to do with the headlines of the day It was a song about a lynching. Other songs from that show were Easter Parade and Heat Wave also sung by Ethel Waters. Summertime is from Porgy and Bess.

She was a great talent in her day. She was able to conquer vaudeville, records, radio, tv, theatre. That's why she was known as MISS ETHEL WATERS. It was a long journey from the back alleys of Chester, PA where she was born the product of a rape. She had a hot temper from what I read, a hard childhood, being illiterate which some of the old 'colored' performers were, and of course the prejudice which was prevelant at the time.
