Ethel Waters (October 31, 1896 – September 1, 1977) was an American singer and actress. Waters frequently performed jazz, swing and pop music on the Broadway stage and in concerts. She began her career in the 1920s singing blues. She first recorded for Columbia in 1925, achieving a hit with "Dinah". With Earl Dancer, she joined what was called the Keith Vaudeville Circuit, a vaudeville circuit performing for white audiences and combined with screenings of silent movies. In 1929, Waters and Wright arranged the unreleased Harry Akst song "Am I Blue?", which was used in the movie On with the Show and became a hit and her signature song. She became the highest-paid performer on Broadway. Despite this status, she had difficulty finding work. She moved to Los Angeles to appear in the 1942 film Cairo. During the same year, she reprised her starring stage role as Petunia in the all-black film musical Cabin in the Sky directed by Vincent Minnelli, and starring Lena Horne as the ingénue. In her later years, Waters often toured with the preacher Billy Graham on his crusades. Waters died on September 1, 1977, aged 80, from uterine cancer, kidney failure, and other ailments, in Chatsworth, California. The 4 CD series includes the majority of her recordings made at the peak of her career. Famous jazz musicians are her accompaniment on several sides. James P. Johnson, Joe Smith , Pearl Wright, Clarence Williams, Lorene Faulkner and Fletcher Henderson on piano. Her unique singing style is very expressive and dramatic.
