Today 1966 Sophie Tucker died
Sophie Tucker (January 13, 1884–February 9, 1966) was a singer and comedian, one of the most popular entertainers in America during the first third of the 20th century.
She was born Sonia Kalish to a Jewish family in Tsarist Russia. Her family emigrated to the United States when she was an infant, and settled in Hartford, Connecticut. The family changed its name to Abuza, and her parents opened a restaurant.
Read more about her at Wikipedia.
You would think I just like the music I offered ya untill now. No, my musical taste goes even into the deep thirties.
Today is a good moment to give you an example of that era.
I wonder how many of you will download the songs below...... Listen to great lyrics like Stay at home papa from 1934_may. And because of this kind of lyrics she was adored by so many women !

'Clickable' links are for you downloaders soooo convienent but the disadvantage is they don't seem to 'last' long.
The Blogger gets a lot of comments 'please re-up'...... Other, more appropriate/interesting comments, they sadly don't get.... :(
So you will have to do a little work to get the link.
This seems, in my opinion, the best deal between 'protecting' my links and the least effort for you.

Nice to hear Sophie again. You could call het the Bette Midler of the 30's... or is Bette a bad copy of Sophie?
Xyros,
I don't know anything about Bette Midler.
I had to choose from six different compilation LP's for this article.
All I can say Sophie Tucker did, with her lyrics and behaviour, a lot to 'women's liberation' in them thirties.
At least, my mom told me so.
