"Stormy Weather" was written by Harold Arlen (1905-1986) and Ted Koehler (1894-1973), in 1933. It was first sang by Ethel Waters (1896-1977) at a club, and then recorded by her in the same year. It was later recorded by many other famous artists such as Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday. Enjoy!

The unmissable, unforgettable and totally lovely Ethel Waters sings 'Birmingham Bertha' from the 1929 film 'On With The Show'. With her is the legendary dancer John Bubbles (John William Sublett), one half of the famous duo 'Buck & Bubbles'. Sheer magic.
Note: 'On With The Show' was originally shot in 2 part Technicolor - now sadly lost and only a b&w; version remains. This clip would have looked fabulous in colour especially with Ethel Waters' marvellous feather hat. Sigh!

Ethel Waters
Ethel Waters (October 31, 1896 – September 1, 1977) was an American blues, jazz and gospel vocalist and actress.
She frequently performed jazz, big band, and pop music, on the Broadway stage and in concerts, although she began her career in the 1920s singing blues.
Her best-known recordings include "Dinah," "Stormy Weather," "Taking a Chance on Love," "Heat Wave," "Supper Time," "Am I Blue?" and "Cabin in the Sky," as well as her version of the spiritual "His Eye Is on the Sparrow." Waters was the second African American, after Hattie McDaniel, to be nominated for an Academy Award. She is also the first African-American woman to be nominated for an Emmy Award, in 1962.
Early life
Ethel Waters was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, on October 31, 1896, as a result of the rape of her teenaged mother, Louise Anderson (believed to have been 13 years old at the time, although some sources indicate she may have been slightly older), by John Waters, a pianist and family acquaintance from a mixed-race middle-class background. He played no role in raising Ethel. Ethel Waters was raised in poverty and never lived in the same place for more than 15 months. She said of her difficult childhood, "I never was a child. I never was cuddled, or liked, or understood by my family."

'Birmingham Bertha' - Ethel Waters - 1929
The unmissable, unforgettable and totally lovely Ethel Waters sings 'Birmingham Bertha' from the 1929 film 'On With The Show'. With her is the legendary dancer John Bubbles (John William Sublett), one half of the famous duo 'Buck & Bubbles'. Sheer magic. Note: 'On With The Show' was originally shot in 2 part Technicolor - now sadly lost and only a b&w; version remains. This clip would have looked fabulous in colour especially with Ethel Waters' marvellous feather hat. Sigh! -

Ethel Waters (oct.31,1896 - sep.1,1977) was an American blues and jazz vocalist and actress.
She was born to a 12 year old mother, Louise Anderson, who had been raped by a white man, John Waters. Although she was raised by her maternal grandmother, she took her father's surname. Reared in poverty, she left school at the age of 13 in order to support herself through domestic housework.
Waters performed for the first time at the age of five in a children's church program. She was called Baby Star and later, performing on the black vaudeville circuit, became known as Sweet Mama Stringbean. After moving to New York City in 1919, at the start of the Harlem Renaissance, Waters recorded songs for Black Swan Records and then Colombia Records while playing in revues and performing on the white vaudeville circuit during the 1920s. Two of her more popular songs were "Dinah" (1925) and "Stormy Weather" (1933). By refining the lyrics and the performance, Waters introduced urban blues to a white audience. Her stylistic alterations created a niche for the black nightclub singers who gained popularity from the 1930s through the 1950s.
In 1927, Waters career as an actress began with the musical Africana. She played singing roles in other Broadway productions: Blackbirds (1930), Rhapsody in Black (1931), As Thousands Cheer (1933), At Home Abroad (1936, and Cabin in the Sky (1940). Waters played more dramatic roles in Mamba's Daughters (1939) and The Member of the Wedding (1950). Appearing in nine films between 1929 and 1959, she received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress in Pinky (1949). Through these roles, Waters transformed the image of the older black woman from that of the servile "Mammy" to the self-sufficient Earth Mother. She toured with evangelist Billy Graham from 1957 to 1976. Waters is the author of two autobiographies: His Eye is on the Sparrow (1951) and To Me It's Wonderful (1972)

She was called Baby Star and later, performing on the black vaudeville circuit, became known as Sweet Mama Stringbean. After moving to New York City in 1919, at the start of the Harlem Renaissance, Waters recorded songs for Black Swan Records and then Colombia Records while playing in revues and performing on the white vaudeville circuit during the 1920s. Two of her more popular songs were "Dinah" (1925) and "Stormy Weather" (1933). By refining the lyrics and the performance, Waters introduced urban blues to a white audience. Her stylistic alterations created a niche for the black nightclub singers who gained popularity from the 1930s through the 1950s.
In 1927, Waters career as an actress began with the musical Africana. She played singing roles in other Broadway productions: Blackbirds (1930), Rhapsody in Black (1931), As Thousands Cheer (1933), At Home Abroad (1936, and Cabin in the Sky (1940). Waters played more dramatic roles in Mamba's Daughters (1939) and The Member of the Wedding (1950). Appearing in nine films between 1929 and 1959, she received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress in Pinky (1949). Through these roles, Waters transformed the image of the older black woman from that of the servile "Mammy" to the self-sufficient Earth Mother. She toured with evangelist Billy Graham from 1957 to 1976. Waters is the author of two autobiographies: His Eye is on the Sparrow (1951) and To Me It's Wonderful (1972)

"WEST END BLUES"
Sung by Ethel Waters
Piano Accompaniment, Clarence Williams
Recorded August 23, 1928
Words - Clarence Williams
Music - Joe Oliver
Ethel Waters was an early blues singer and later a blues-style pop singer. She was noted for her smooth style, warm voice with distinctive tone and vibrato. She sang in church choirs as a child and won a talent contest at a local theater. Played theaters in Philadelphia and Baltimore and gained the nickname "Sweet Mama Stringbean" because she was tall and thin. In New York City, in the early 1920s, she was a top-billed singer/dancer act in vaudeville, then made several big-selling records for Black Swan, Paramount and Columbia. She also performed in Broadway Musicals "Africana" (1927), "Blackbirds of 1930", and "Rhapsody in Black" (1931). She has recorded with Clarence Williams, Duke Ellington, the Dorsey Brothers and Benny Goodman. Between 1935 and 1939 she headed her own touring show. She was also active as a film actress/singer. In 1949, she was nominated for an Oscar best supporting actress in the film "Pinky", and the next year she won the New York Drama Critics Award for best actress.
"West End Blues" is usually thought of as one of the all-time great Jazz instumentals, in particular, the Louis Armstrong classic recorded two months earlier. Ethel Waters is probably the first vocalist to record the lyrics of Clarence Williams, who also accompanies her on the piano.
"WEST END BLUES"
Blues from my head to my shoes I'm blue today
I've got a mean evil feelin', And I'm full of gin
On my way to the West End and there's where troubles will begin
My man, my Dan, low-down mean hound
In town with my best friend running around
Soon the undertaker man gonna knock upon his door
Folks in West End, folks in West End, gonna see some shootin'
Like they've never seen before
I mean my man and my best friend will never cheat in West End no more
Blues from my head to my shoes, so blue today
I still got that mean low-down feeling, I'm gonna hear bad news
I'm on my way to the West End to lose those old ugly West End Blues

Shelton Brooks (May 4, 1886 – September 6, 1975) was an African American, Canadian born composer of popular music and jazz, who wrote some of the biggest hits of the first third of the 20th century. Brooks was born in Amherstburg, Canada. His family moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 1901. Brooks sang, played piano, and performed on the vaudeville circuit (notably, as a Bert Williams imitator), as well as having a successful songwriting career.

Ethel Waters (Oct.31,1896 (1900?) - Sept.1,1977) was an American blues and jazz vocalist and actress. She frequently performed jazz, big band, rock and roll and pop music, on the Broadway stage and in concerts, although she began her career in the 1920s singing blues. She was the second African American ever nominated for an Academy Award.
Waters was very talented and had many achievements. After her start in Baltimore, she toured on the black vaudeville circuit. As she described it later, "I used to work from nine until unconscious." Despite her early success, Waters fell on hard times and joined a carnival which traveled in freight cars to Chicago, Illinois. She enjoyed her time with the carnival, and recalled, "The roustabouts and the concessionaires were the kind of people I'd grown up with, rough, tough, full of larceny towards strangers, but sentimental, and loyal to their friends and co-workers." She did not last long with them, though, and soon headed south to Atlanta, Georgia. There, she worked in the same club with Bessie Smith. Smith demanded that she not compete in singing the blues opposite her, and Waters conceded to the older woman and instead sang ballads and popular songs and danced.
She fell in love with a drug addict in this early period, but their stormy relationship ended with World War I. She moved to Harlem and became part of the Harlem Renaissance around 1919.
Waters specialized in popular ballads, and became an actress in a blackface comedy called Hello 1919. In 1921 Waters became the fifth black woman to make a record. She later joined Black Swan Records, where Fletcher Henderson was her accompanist. Waters later commented that Henderson tended to perform in a more classical style than she would prefer, often lacking "the damn-it-to-hell bass". According to Waters, she influenced Henderson to practice in a "real jazz" style. She first recorded for Columbia Records in 1925. In 1924 Waters played at the Plantation Club on Broadway. She also toured with the Black Swan Dance Masters. With Earl Dancer, she joined what was called the "white time" Keith Circuit. They received rave reviews in Chicago, and earned the unheard-of salary of US$1,250 in 1928. In 1929, Harry Akst helped Wright and Waters compose a version of "Am I Blue?", her signature tune.
During the 1920s, Waters performed and was recorded with the ensembles of Will Marion Cook and Lovie Austin. As her career continued, she evolved toward being a blues and Broadway singer, performing with artists such as Duke Ellington.
Although she was considered a blues singer during the pre-1925 period, Waters belonged to the vaudeville style of Mamie Smith, Viola McCoy, and Lucille Hegamin. While with Columbia, she introduced many popular standards, including Dinah, Heebie Jeebies, Sweet Georgia Brown, Someday, Sweetheart, Am I Blue?" and What Did I Do to Be So Black and Blue on the popular series, while she continued to sing blues (West End Blues,Organ Grinder Blues, etc.) on Columbia's 14000 race series. During the 1920s, Waters performed and was recorded with the ensembles of Will Marion Cook and Lovie Austin. As her career continued, she evolved toward being a blues and Broadway singer, performing with artists such as Duke Ellington. She remained with Columbia through 1931. She signed with Brunswick in 1932 and remained until 1933, when she went back to Columbia. She signed with Decca in late 1934 for only two sessions, as well as a single session in early 1938.
She began to work with Fletcher Henderson again in the late 1940s. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the film Pinky (1949), under the direction of Elia Kazan. In 1950, she won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for her performance opposite Julie Harris in the play The Member of the Wedding. Waters and Harris reprised their roles in the 1952 film version, Member of the Wedding. In 1950, Waters starred in the television series Beulah, becoming the first African-American actress to have a lead role in a television series. However, she quit after complaining that the portrayal of blacks was "degrading." She later guest-starred in 1957 and 1959 on NBC's The Ford Show, Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford. In the 1957 episode, she sang "Cabin in the Sky"
Waters died on Sept.1,1977, aged 80, from uterine cancer, kidney failure, and other ailments, in Chatsworth, California.

Shelton Brooks (May 4, 1886 – September 6, 1975) was an African American, Canadian born composer of popular music and jazz, who wrote some of the biggest hits of the first third of the 20th century.
Brooks was born in Amherstburg, Canada. His family moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 1901. Brooks sang, played piano, and performed on the vaudeville circuit (notably, as a Bert Williams imitator), as well as having a successful songwriting career. His first hit song was "Some of These Days", which he was able to get to headliner Sophie Tucker in 1909. Tucker adopted it as her theme song, and performed it regularly for the next 55 years.
Brooks starred in several 1920s musical comedies. After the sudden death of his partner Florence Mills in 1927, he stopped appearing in stage shows and pursued a nightclub act. He also had a radio show on the CBS network in the 1930s. In the 1940s he became a regular in Ken Murray's "Blackouts", a long-running salute to burlesque that played in both New York and Los Angeles, California.

Ethel Waters
Ethel Waters (Chester, Pensilvania, 31 de octubre de 1896 - California, 1 de septiembre de 1977) fue una actriz y cantante estadounidense de blues, jazz, musicales y gospel.
Como actriz fue nominada a un Óscar, siendo la segunda afroamericana en conseguirlo después de Hattie McDaniel.
Sus canciones más famosas fueron "Am I blue?",1 Stormy Weather, Miss Otis Regrets y su versión del espiritual "His Eye is on the Sparrow."
Es una de las más importantes cantantes afroamericanas de jazz y música popular de las primeras dos terceras partes del siglo XX junto a Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Alberta Hunter, Mahalia Jackson, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Betty Carter y Sarah Vaughan entre otras.
Nacida de una mujer violada de solo 13 años, creció en un empobrecido y violento distrito de Filadelfia. A pesar de ser adoptada por su abuela, nunca llegó a vivir más de quince meses seguidos en el mismo lugar. Sus recuerdos personales inciden en la falta de ambiente familiar y la ausencia de niñez en un sentido tradicional.
Waters se casó a los 13 años, pero dejó pronto a su marido, que abusaba de ella, y se convirtió en sirvienta en un hotel de Filadelfia, trabajando por 4.75 dólares a la semana.4 En su 17 cumpleaños, durante la noche de Halloween de 1917, trabajó en una fiesta en un club nocturno de Juniper Street. Fue invitada a cantar dos canciones, conmoviendo de tal manera al auditorio que se le ofreció trabajo como profesional en el Lincoln Theatre de Baltimore. Ganaría 10 dólares a la semana.
Tras comenzar en Baltimore, realizó una gira por el sur actuando en diversos honkytonks. A pesar de su éxito inicial, Waters entró en un mal periodo y tuvo que unirse al carnaval (un espectáculo popular itinerante), con el que viajó a Chicago; este periodo y las gentes que conoció fueron siempre muy valorados por la cantante.
Tras esta etapa, trabajó en Atlanta en el mismo club con Bessie Smith, quien pidió que no cantase blues para no competir con ella, por lo que Waters tuvo que cantar baladas y canciones populares, además de bailar, terreno en el que desarrollaría la mayor parte de su carrera profesional (en musicales, programas de televisión, etc.), regresando al blues muy ocasionalmente.
En 1933 trabajó en el Cotton Club de Harlem y luego en Broadway en la revista musical As thousands cheers, la primera negra en un show blanco de Broadway. Llegó a ser la cantante mejor pagada de la calle neoyorkina.
En 1944 hizo en cine Stage Door Canteen con Count Basie y en la película Cabin in the Sky de Vincente Minnelli se midió con la joven Lena Horne y en 1949 fue nominada como actriz de reparto para un Premio Óscar por su actuación en Pinky de Elia Kazan.
En 1950 ganó un Premio Tony en The member of the Wedding con Julie Harris que luego llevaron al cine.
En la década del 50 participó en televisión en la serie Beulah, retirándose cuando la consideró denigratoria para su raza.
En 1957 se unió al movimiento cristiano del reverendo Billy Graham, dedicándose a la causa hasta su muerte.
En 1973 recibió un Grammy honorario por Dinah, Am I Blue y Stormy Weather, su histórica versión de 1933 incluida en la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos y desde el 2004 integra el Registro Nacional de Grabaciones.
En 1983 fue incorporada al Hall de la Fama Gospel y en 1994 se publicó un sello postal en su memoria.

Down Home Blues
I never felt
So lonesome before;
My friend has quit me;
He's gone for sure;
He broke my heart,
For I loved him true;
So now I'm worried,
Lonesome and blue.
I've got the blues on my mind,
And I just feel like crying all the time.
Woke up this morning, the day was dawning,
And I was feeling all sad and blue,
I had nobody to tell my troubles to;
I felt so worried,
I didn't know what to do.
But there's no use in grievin', because I'm leavin',
I'm broken-hearted and Dixie-bound;
I been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose.
My train is leaving,
And I got the down-home blues.
Woke up this morning, the day was dawning,
And I was feeling all sad and blue,
Lord, I had nobody to tell my troubles to;
I felt so worried,
I didn't know what to do.
But there's no use in grievin', because I'm leavin',
I'm broken-hearted and Dixie-bound;
Lord, I been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose.
My train is leaving,
