  • This is just BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank You so much for posting this treasure.

  • Splendid! A real window into the past!

  • She's a goddess, isn't she? I have to counter that she sounds nothing like Ethel Waters... although you're correct that Libby imitated her. Libby, like many great singers of her day, was operatically trained and yet she was totally intimidated by Ethel's untrained and soulful voice. "Moanin' Low" is one of the greatest singles of the entire era in my book. Sigh!

  • Thanks for your great clip of Libby. She certainly led a weird life which makes her music even more intriguing.

  • This is the first time I have heard Libby Holman.. thank you. Besides the slightly arch approach to the lyrics, she sounds a great deal like Ethel Waters. But a great deal of performers imitated Waters.
