Ethel Waters' original rendition of 'Birmingham Bertha' from the 1929 Warner Bros movie 'On With The Show', the first all-color talking movie btw ... This amusing song conveys its message on more than one level ... Another song about a strong woman, while offering quite some social critique ... Certainly extraordinary for its time, and maybe still today ... Enjoy! ... Cheers, Julia
