Music Reviews of Am I Blue
Music Review: No reason to be blue!
Rating: 5 Stars
"Am I Blue" is the ultimate collection of the semi-forgotten Waters, who deserves to be linked with names like Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Mamie Smith. She had a beautiful, powerful voice but she also had something the others didn't have; visibility. She made short films of her performances such as the original version of "Stormy Weather" and of course was in many films afterwards. Every important song she ever recorded is here.Music Review: Ethel Waters - Am I Blue?
Rating: 5 Stars
Growing up in the 50's, pop music from the late 20's and 30's was fairly common. There were some real classics. I never thought much about who was singing many of these songs. Alas, Ethel Waters was one of them. Also, by paying attention to the recording dates, it's possible to hear the influence of Louis Armstrong. The sound is quite acceptable for the recording technoloby in use at the time. This disc is a real classic.Music Review: She was a WOW!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Everyone should experience the voice and style that belonged to Ethel Waters. Most people remember her in movies but not everyone realizes she was a successful songstress before that. To hear her sing Dinah or Sweet Georgia Brown will send shivers of pleasure through your body. Her sense of timing and her style of blues were unique. Listen and enjoy to one of the great treasures that was Ethel Waters.Music Review: Hip-swingin', light-flashin', get-down-to kind of song!
Rating: 5 Stars
This song has a great beat you just want to dance to. I would love to sing with this song if I could just figure out what she was singing. So instead, I just get down and party hardy! I strongly suggest playing this song at a dance or group party at high volume and a strobe light or other party style fixtures.Music Review: terrific lady

I am just venturing into blues and jazz, and am really pleased with this CD. Before I bought it I had no idea who Ethel Waters was. Now I am hooked. Has all her famous songs plus many others. I would say it is a must buy.
