From the British film "Radio Parade of 1935". Alberta is accompanied by Joyce Richardson. Ms. Richardson's "booty shaking" is surprisingly demure by modern standards.

Apologies for quality.... and please remember Martin Luther King would only have been 6 years old when this was recorded......

  • Love her to death!

  • Dear Alberta, It is 2010 and I am a w f born 1951 and I just found you a couple of months ago on YouTube. Singing in your 80's in the 1970's a favorite of mine - Darktown Strutters Ball. And then listening to you on this 1930's song. You are fantastic and I am glad you came out of retirement. Epitome of jazz singing. You are alive Lady.

  • Ditto!

  • How wonderful to see and hear this ... Great!
