BLUES BEFORE |
|
|
This week on Blues Before Sunrise we'll look back and listen to later recordings by singer Ethel Waters. Throughout the 1920s Ethel was a top rank Classic Blues Singer. But when the 1920s came to an end and the record industry was ravaged by the Great Depression most Classic Blues singers disappeared. Ethel survived by singing pop tunes and appearing in stage shows. She continued to record for the Brunswick and Decca labels. We'll listen to selections from the 1930s - and it's great material! Ethel Waters and her later recordings - Only on BBS! |
