Ethel Waters - Oh Daddy (1921)

[PunkRockFreak09]

I'm listening to a song 90 years old and I love it. So much better than the modern shit.

Sorry but that is Ethel Waters, Black Swan Records #2010-A , 3-22-1921

Oh,this is wonderful - so much different from Ma Rainey who did is as "Oh,Papa" - but wait,are you sure this is Ethel? To me it sounds like Mamie Smith,I'm almost sure I can recognise her voice (I have her CDs) if I listen with eyes closed I would say its Mamie...or was young Ethel perhaps imitating her?
