Bertha "Chippie" Hill Born: March 15, 1905(1905-03-15) Origin: Charleston, South Carolina, United States Died: May 7, 1950 (aged 45) New York City, New York, United States Genres: Blues, vaudeville Occupations: Singer Years active: 1920s -- 1950 Labels Okeh Bertha "Chippie" Hill (March 15, 1905 -- May 7, 1950), was an American blues and vaudeville singer and dancer, best known for her recordings with Louis Armstrong.[1] Hill was born in Charleston, South Carolina, one of sixteen children,[2] but in 1915 the family moved to New York. She began her career as a dancer in Harlem, and by 1919 was working with Ethel Waters. At age 14, during a stint at Leroy's, a noted New York nightclub, Hill was nicknamed "Chippie" because of her young age.[3] She also performed with Ma Rainey as part of the Rabbit Foot Minstrels, before establishing her own song and dance act and touring on the TOBA circuit in the early 1920s. She settled in Chicago in about 1925, and worked at various venues with King Oliver's Jazz Band. She first recorded in November 1925 for Okeh Records, backed by the cornet player Louis Armstrong and pianist Richard M. Jones, on songs such as "Pratt City Blues", "Low Land Blues" and "Kid Man Blues" that year, and on "Georgia Man" and "Trouble in Mind" with the same musicians in 1926. She also recorded in 1927, with Lonnie Johnson on the vocal duet, "Hard Times Blues", plus "Weary Money Blues", "Tell Me Why" and "Speedway Blues". In 1928, came the Tampa Red vocal duets ...

OBAMA PRESIDENT- Paint JF GALEA Exhibited at the Salon of French Artists Grand Palais- PARIS ART- CAPITAL- of 3 to 9 October 2009 OBAMA PRESIDENT New York: crazy year, new dawn for AmericaOff the coast of the city triumphs Obama. He floats like an island shimmering in a mirage of azure. The sky, to celebrate and consecrate him pours a shower of flapping and fluttering greenbacks. Crowned with Uncle Sams hat, waving his Star- Spangled Banners with a childish joy, he laughs at these flying notes. Grass skirt filled with dollars, cheap shiny golden buttons, glass pearls, banana belt Josephine Baker style, he is ready for his music-hall review and enters the international scene arm in arm with Fortune. The austere Statue of Liberty has changed into a radiant boticellian goddess, born from the sea foam and crowned with dazzlingly beautiful hair. She is starting a love affair with the mulatto demigod. They sowand the dollars flow. They use them as fans among the waves, waiting for the future harvest. Fortune smiles on him. She is no longer blindfolded. She has untied the new scarf of Iris, embroidered with the famous words of Virgil. She has lost the winged wheel, whimsical circus unicycle she used to ride on. Still dazed by the miracle we all wanted, she staggers, blinded by the rain of notes that are mere paper. But she raises and takes on with her the chosen one towards the Empyream. Shall we, among this Pentecost of confetti, witness the irresistible rising? Shall we see ...

Le ciel déverse, pour le célébrer, une pluie de billets verts qui papillotent, virevoltent et sacrent à la présidence. Couronné du chapeau de lOncle Sam, agitant avec la joie enfantine ses drapeaux bleu- blanc- rouge étoilés, il samuse de ces liasses éployées qui ne font que du vent. Pagne débordant de dollars, boutons dor aussi brillants que pacotille , perles de verroterie, ceinture de bananes à la Baker, prêt pour sa revue de Music-hall, il entre sur la scène mondiale et danse au bras de la Fortune qui lemmène. Laustère statue de la Liberté a disparu pour se métamorphoser en rayonnante déesse Botticellienne, née de lécume, chevelure radieuse et solaire, et vivre une nouvelle histoire damour avec ce métis demi- dieu. Ils sèment : et tombes les dollars, dont ils séventent, au milieu des vagues quils sillonnent, pour de futures moissons Car cest la Chance qui lui sourit. Elle a dénoué le bandeau qui laveuglait, nouvelle écharpe dIris , brodée des célèbres mots de Virgile. Elle a perdu la roue ailée quelle chevauchait, capricieux monocycle dacrobate de cirque. Encore tout étourdie du miracle que nous avons voulu, elle titube, éborgnée sous cette pluie de billets qui ne sont que papier, mais elle sélève et ...
Here are two famous songs performed in her inimitable style by the one and unique Joyce Bryant. Joyce Bryant, "the Bronze Blond Bombshell", the four octave singer, aka the black Marilyn Monroe, "the Voice You'll Always Remember" and "the Belter", was born in Oakland, CA, but raised in San Francisco (the oldest of eight children). She moved to Los Angeles to live with cousins when she was in her late teens. An impromptu singalong in a Los Angeles club in the late 1940s was Bryant's first public performance. From there, she picked up other gigs and built a strong reputation. Her act was outrageously sexy; she wore provocative, tight, backless, cleavage-revealing mermaid dresses that left little to imagine and they were so tight, she had to be carried off-stage. Supposedly, Bryant twisted so much she lost four pounds a performance. The blond hair probably inspired Etta James who, like Bryant, was also raised in San Francisco and lived in Los Angeles to copy the blond hair image later. Bryant's hair was naturally black, but not wanting to be upstaged by Josephine Baker at a club, she doused it with silver radiator paint, slithered into a tight silver dress: the Bronze Blond Bombshell and even Baker was impressed! The gimmick and Bryant's elastic voice elevated the singer to heavyweight status. She was called one of the most beautiful black women in the world and regularly appeared in Afrocentric magazines like Jet. A Life magazine layout in 1953 depicted the sexy singer in ...

"I Feel Good", James Brown, "Hit the Road Jack" Ray Charles, and "Tutti Frutti" Little Richard. Conducted by Cody Case
Josephine Baker (June 3,1906 - April 12,1975, born Freda Josephine McDonald in St. Louis, Missouri) took the name Baker from her second husband, Willie Baker, whom she married at age 15. Surviving the 1917 riots in East St. Louis, Illinois, where the family was living, Josephine Baker ran away a few years later at age thirteen and began dancing in vaudeville and on Broadway. In 1925, Josephine Baker went to Paris where, after the jazz revue La Revue Nègre failed, her comic ability and jazz dancing drew attention of the director of the Folies Bergère. Virtually an instant hit, Josephine Baker became one of the best-known entertainers in both France and much of Europe. Her exotic, sensual act reinforced the creative images coming out of the Harlem Renaissance in America. During World War II Josephine Baker worked with the Red Cross, gathered intelligence for the French Resistance and entertained troops in Africa and the Middle East. After the war, Josephine Baker adopted, with her second husband, twelve children from around the world, making her home a World Village, a "showplace for brotherhood." She returned to the stage in the 1950s to finance this project. In 1951 in the United States, Josephine Baker was refused service at the famous Stork Club in New York City. Yelling at columnist Walter Winchell, another patron of the club, for not coming to her assistance, she was accused by Winchell of communist and fascist sympathies. Never as popular in the US as in Europe, she ...
