Synopsis

Album Details
Gdn Records Proudly Presents Josephine Baker in What was to Be her Last Recording. This American Born Songstress, Actress and Dancer Unable to Tolerate the Segregational Policies of her Homeland, Left for France at Age 19 and Spent the Rest of her Life Using her Fame Combined with the Invulnerability that Came from Being Based Outside America, to Protest Injustice Wherever She Saw It. Upon her Arrival in France, Some 76 Years Ago, She Took the Country by Storm. Her Sensuous Dances in her Performances in "la Revue Negre" at the Champs-elyse Theater, was Something the French Had Never Before Seen. The Influence of American Music and Dance, Swept her Audiences with her Precision, Risque Stage Dress, her Abandon, Wildness and Control, She Held Nothing Back, She Danced and Sang as Though Possessed, Yet her Movements and were Exact in their Form and Rhythm.
