She travelled the continent and became pregnant with my Grandfather whilst the group were in Paris, which forced her to leave the tour and move to London.

How cool is this! I heard that Europeans treated black American artists better than they were treated here.
She is so pretty. Even though it was a long time ago, was film ever taken of their performance?
Wow, what a gorgeous woman, and such a radiant smile! I see from your other comments that she was friends with Mabel Mercer. Whoa! If you can upload only one photo per post on this sub, I encourage you to post a series. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d love to learn more about her life and work.
LOL! Chocolate Kiddies, love that! Really cool.
