Doctoral Dissertations. 1946. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1946 Fréhel and Bessie Smith: A Cross-Cultural Study of the French Realist Singer and the African American Classic Blues Singer Tiffany Renée Jackson, DMA University of Connecticut, 2018 ABSTRACT In this dissertation I explore parallels between the lives and careers of the chan- son réaliste singer Fréhel (1891-1951), born Marguerite Boulc’h, and the classic blues singer Bessie Smith (1894-1937), and between the genres in which they worked. Both were tragic figures, whose struggles with love, abuse, and abandonment culminated in untimely ends that nevertheless did not overshadow their historical relevance. Drawing on literature in cultural studies and sociology that deals with feminism, race, and class, I compare the the two women’s formative environments and their subsequent biographi- cal histories, their career trajectories, the societal hierarchies from which they emerged, and, finally, their significance for developments in women’s autonomy in wider society. Chanson réaliste (realist song) was a French popular song category developed in the Parisian cabaret of the1880s and which attained its peak of wide dissemination and popularity from the 1920s through the 1940s.

    Hunter, Alberta (1895-1984) Alberta Hunter by Carla Williams performing "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out." Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Film still from a youtube Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. video that can be found Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com here. Blues singer, lyricist, and actress Alberta Hunter, a distinctive stylist and one of the top recording artists in the 1920s and 1930s, experienced a dramatic comeback in her old age. Alberta Hunter was destined to become a legend. Born on April 1, 1895 in Memphis, Tennessee, where she was reared, Hunter left home at age fifteen for Chicago, where, lying about her age, she launched her singing career in the city's nascent saloon and club scene, performing first with King Oliver's legendary Creole Jazz Band. Possessed of abundant talent and stage presence, Hunter rose quickly to become one of the city's leading attractions in the 1910s and 1920s. Noted for singing the blues over troubled love affairs, she also wrote some of her own material, including "Down Hearted Blues." Buoyed by her success in the city that had become the premier center for blues entertainers, Hunter began making recordings in 1921. She made more than 100 recordings for numerous labels, occasionally using pseudonyms to record while under contract with rival companies. Among her best known recordings are those of "'Taint Nobody's Business If I Do" and "Aggravatin' Papa." Having been molested as a child, in disturbing incidents that she would recall later in life, Hunter was largely disdainful of men, particularly those who would control and manipulate her.

Hawkins (right) and Rosa L. Hawkins (left), joined by Athelgra Neville. Photo by Richard Strauss, Smithsonian Institution Rhythm and Blues 53 Tell It Like It Is by Mark Puryear In 1964 The Dixie Cups®, a female vocal trio from New Orleans, crooned out a cheerful version of “Chapel of Love” and knocked the Beatles from their number one spot on the pop charts. A year later, the trio released “Iko Iko,” a song first released in 1954 by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford as “Jock-A-Mo,” whose lyrics recount the meeting of two groups of Mardi Gras Indians. Since then, this song has been cov- ered by artists from the Grateful Dead to Cyndi Lauper, and continues to move new generations with its infectious New Orleans rhythms. The career of The Dixie Cups, and their direct and indirect roles in carrying rhythm and blues (R&B) into mainstream consciousness, speaks to the enduring pow- er of this music to transcend region and musical category and become a representative sound of the country. Musical Crossroads by Dwandalyn Reece The National Museum of African American History of musical genres, highlighting musical innovations, and Culture (NMAAHC) was established by an act of significant time periods and events along with Congress in 2003 making it the nineteenth museum historic performances to capture the music’s impact of the Smithsonian Institution.

  • Nursing the Blues: the Remarkable Alberta Hunter (1895-1984)
    NURSING THE BLUES: THE REMARKABLE ALBERTA HUNTER (1895-1984) David H. Evans, D.M. Professor of Music Introduction My affair with Alberta Hunter began quite by accident. I say affair because as I have continued my study of her life, I have become more passionately involved. It was the vitality of the voice that first intrigued me. Then I happened to see a documentary of her performing at The Cookery in 1977 and knew that I needed to learn more about this remarkable woman. As I have learned more, my interest has redoubled. But let me back up. In the late 1980’s I was expanding my personal record collection and looking for works I could incorporate into a Popular Music class I had developed. Among the many jazz and blues recordings that I purchased was a sound track from a film entitled “Remember My Name.” I had never seen, or even heard of, this film, but one of the songs listed on the album was “Downhearted Blues,” which I had always associated with Bessie Smith. The soundtrack, however, claimed to be a collection of songs by Alberta Hunter, of whom I knew nothing. In fact, one of songs had been composed especially for the film. I was intrigued that someone who had a link to the city blues era of the 1920’s was still active more than fifty years later. I placed the recording on the turntable and before I could even begin reading the liner notes, I was captivated. As I read the notes, I discovered that the rich vibrant voice I was hearing was that of Alberta Hunter, who was 82 years old at the time of the recording.
