I had never heard of Alberta Hunter before I discovered You Tube 3-4 years ago. . I found her recording of "Two Cigarettes in the Dark" with the Jack Jackson Orchestra. That was the young Alberta Hunter.
When I looked on Amazon for a CD, I found instead -- a DVD of Alberta -- "My Castle's Rockin' " ..... I ordered it. One of the best DVD's I've ever bought! What a woman and what a life she had -- absolutely amazing!
I have been pushing this LADY'S name around for 30 years. So happy to see that there are so many others who share my tastes. Thanks so much jazzy, I never thought of google! on my way there now.
This lady had one of the most amazing lives on earth ! ! Google her name -there are TWO great bios on her AND A COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY! Do it while you listen, right now, your jaw will drop ! ! ! My channel is a music hall of fame for the most exceptional artists on earth, and Alberta is one of my 350 artist playlists. She recorded this in '78, so it's also included in my 111 lists for every year since 1900. Thanks heaps, Jaz ! ! ! ! chuck
Merci !

There's a VHS of her doing this song at the Smithsonian. I checked it out of the library.

I remember watching her documentary on Netflix and fell in love with her. Her story's incredible.
