[Corrie121]

Another great addition to my Marion Harris "Playlist".

Thank you for sharing.

It matters not a whit what race she was, she's a great singer.

I think she was like Babe Ruth....she was black but was passing because she could. Love her singing regardless.

@bellehaup Very interesting. But your post seems to run in contradiction to the bio provided by Wiki that states she was caucasian (not that that makes a difference, of course. Beauty is beauty). As for Ruth, I'm at a loss.

@bellehaup Wiki gives the great one's ethnicity as German American! But whatever works for you!!

Pretty woman, fun melody, grim lyrics!

[ccaammiiittoo1]

She has a wonderful "ear." Listening to Harris is similar to listening to literature's Eudora Welty. She too had an "ear."

@ccaammiiittoo1 Well said. Some people seem to be born with this ability; how fortunate for them and us! There are many such entertainers of course, but another to dial into on YT is DeFord Bailey. Watch his two [and all-too-brief] live performances at The Grand Ole Opry...

@Urbino237 Thank you. Will do.
