Summary:
During the 1920s and 30s, many of the biggest stars of the time--including Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters, Porter Grainger, Josephine Baker, Frankie 'Half-Pint' Jaxon, Lucille Bogan, Tony Jackson and Clara Smith--were openly celebrating LGBTQ lives through the songs they wrote, performed and recorded. Award-winning author Darryl W. Bullock brings their stories to the fore through contemporary reports, interviews, news articles and rare archive material, painting a vibrant picture of a revolutionary period in both popular music and Queer history that has long been overlooked.
