  • What a fantastic video! This is what youtube should be about - not ripping off current shows - but sharing lost footage for all

  • I believe she was the first or 2nd Black woman to have her own television show. Eleanor Collins in Vancouver was about the same time. Then she was smeared by Mc Carthy her show was canceled and it was over ten years before Pearl Baily got a show.

  • Absolutely gorgeous!

    Like a cross between Sara Vaughan and Mary Lou Williams.

    I love that song; so elegant in harmony and melody. I have it with Art Tatum and Buddy de Franco.

    This is American culture at its best.

  • Great.. piece of history. 

  • @bazuinwhale great piece of history.

  • What a great year 1955 proved to be in history! EGomezbest

  • @widowmakor It should be for all footage possible. The people creating the entertainment would want their performances available for all to see- its the business side of things that messes it up- that part has nothing to do with the talent on display. There's so much stuff out there that if footage isnt up here, chances are you may never ever see it. I have a box of VHS tapes with live stuff from the last 20 yrs which i can finally throw away as most of it is up here thank god.

  • @bluesjaye They were black and wanted an answer... to oppression. Wrong answer but ... that's also why some black people go Muslim. It's to find a better perspective from which to work and live. The strict Muslim thing is crazy of course, but they get (were) desperate... faced by white people owning everything.

  • @bazuinwhale @bazuinwhale You see, McCarthy was another way to crush freedom of life, that might have threatened the corporate giants. A black woman with a show, and one who plays piano? No way! In the 60s-80s (JFK to... John Lennon?) it was done by assassination, and now, it's done by fear of (and no doubt the framing of) terrorists. The aim again: to stem off potential threats to mass profits.

  • Yeah!!!!

  • fuck...she is great!!!!!!!!!!

  • i would preefer a rancid hazel nut

    sorreey, Rab
