Music Reviews of Incomparable Ethel Waters
Music Review: Not a bad introduction to Ethel Waters' music
Rating: 5 Stars
Ethel Waters possessed one of the most breath-takingly gorgrous voices of our time, she also was a spectacular jazz singer. She did a great vocal version of Louis Armstrongs classic West End Blues! This cd will work as a good introduction to Ethel'scharming style of singing. She was technicly a swinging jazz singer, though her mannerisms were vaudevillian, such as the way she OVER-pernounces her r's, and how she rolls her R's. While other singers did that and sound dated today, it sounds charming when Ethel does it, and her vocie is just so pretty. One of the greatest singer sof all time.
Interesting facts:
Ethel Waters toured with Billy Graham's crusades in the 50's until she died, she became a Cgristian, and sang Gospel music in her later career!
She also stars is an exellent film "Cabin in the Sky", which is worth finding and watching.
