The 32-year-old singer has been compared favorably to Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday because of surface similarities in her voice. She goes far beyond Bessie Smith to introduce major figures in the field such as Victoria Spivey, Sippie Wallace, Edith Wilson and Alberta Hunter as well as performers who are less well remembered such as Trixie Smith, Clara Smith, Lucille Hegamin, Lizzie Miles, Chippie Hill and Ida Cox. Originally built as the Alhambra Theater in 1905, it began as a vaudeville venue, eventually showing movies and opening an upstairs ballroom hosting legendary performers such as Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. |
