one of the very first electronically recorded hits (1925); a real treat. Thanks, Ethel!

According to my late friend David Morris, Ethel had a small summer cottage up in Kinnelon, NJ and she used to treat the kids up there to chocolate chip cookies. That would have been around 1943 when she was between pictures.

Thanks, Ethel; you are divine and the ancestors are definitely pleased with your.

Life is a play; and you surely did your part well.

[ChingfordSpur]

Given the story of her birth, the name 'Dinah' is an interesting choice of song...(see Genesis 34)

I love the Ted Lewis version but noone has posted it on YouTube.

[Somepeople]

She's marvelous. Interesting, though, the picture posted is not of Ethel Waters. Who is it?

I love this song be it old as dirt. Every singer after this song has taken something from Miss. waters from Mildred bailey to Billie Holiday you clearly hear the influence

[heinbanjo12]

She is great. Thanks for the two songs.
