My guest this week is NYC-based musician, author, and performance artist Joseph Keckler (NPR's Tiny Desk, tours with Lydia Lunch & Sleater-Kinney), who chose the 1929 two-reeler short St. Louis Blues, which is the legend Bessie Smith's first and only film appearance. We discuss Joseph's iconic performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series, how he came to unleash his powerful vocal range on a wide range of audiences, choosing to write and sing in German about the adult moments where he was relapsing into a teenage Goth, befriending and touring with Lydia Lunch, Bebe Hansen, the current No-Wave scene in NYC, the excitement of having a standoff with an audience, opening for Sleater-Kinney, confusing but life-altering concert billings, where we both were when first hearing Bessie Smith and the imprint it left on us, why this 1929 short film of Bessie Smith was almost destroyed in the 50s, tape trading with The Residents, hearing Aretha Franklin's voice coming up through the floorboards and being obsessed with Cab Calloway & Bessie Smith as a child, Bessie's acting chops and the unique direction of this performance & more.So let's sing at the top of our lungs into the bottom of our beer mug on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.Joseph will be performing on May 31st 2026 in NYC at TV EYE w/ Genre Is DeathTickets available at tveyenyc.com/calendarJOSEPH KECKLER:josephkeckler.com/BESSIE SMITH in ST.

Comenzamos repasando el catálogo discografico Panart, el primer sello independiente cubano fundado por el ingeniero de sonido Ramón Sabat capaz de sostener una linea de producción estable a partir de 1944. Entre sus artistas exclusivos sobresalió Barbarito Diez, vocalista estrella de la orquesta del pianista Antonio María Romeu. La voz de cristal del danzón cantado registrada en cientos de singles, luego reunidos en la serie "Así bailaba Cuba". El arte de los conjuntos de sones llega con los clásicos: "Estrellas de Chocolate" y "Rumbavana". Formidables bastiones del son cubano, fundados a mediados de los años 50 del siglo XX por dos percusionistas: Félix "Chocolate" Alfonso y Ricardo Ferro, respectivamente. Dos grandes soneros cantan con estos conjuntos cubanos: Arístides Balmaseda y Raúl Planas. Seguidamente la señal de la radio independiente nos recuerda el esplendor de las presentaciones en directo en los estudios de la CMQ RadioCentro de 23 y M en el Vedado. Un recuerdo del paso por La Habana del gran Cab Calloway. Últimos atisbos de discografia independiente, ya a comienzos de los años 60. La etiqueta "Ferrer Records" fundada por el aviador y compositor Eduardo Ferrer, produjo hacia 1960 el álbum "Cuban Feeling" con dos voces precursoras: Olga Rivero y Pepe Reyes. Repertorio, arreglos y conducciones orquestales a cargo de Enriqueta Almanza y el Niño Rivera. Unos minutos junto al recuerdo de Paulina Alvarez quien fuera una de las artistas femeninas más influyentes de la escena musical cubana de los años 30 del siglo XX. Con la orquesta y los arreglos del maestro Rafael Somavilla, a comienzos de los 60, en plenitud de facultades alcanzó a despedirse de su público. En la despedida algo de la obra de Rafael Ortíz. Con el sobrenombre de "Mañungo" fue bien conocido en el ambiente musical a partir de la década del 20, llegando a ser digno relevo del poeta del Son Ignacio Piñeiro al frente del mítico Septeto "Nacional". Algunas de las piezas de Rafael Ortíz a la manera del clarín del Son: Carlos Embale.
Well, there are worse things than recording a theater/anime podcast on a Sunday? On this glorious Sunday's episode of Anime Was (Not) a Mistake presents Good Movie Podcast? Jonathan hopes to inspire Dan's artistic sensibilities with Stephen Sondheim and James Lapines' proshot of Sunday in the Park with George (1984). In a fictional, yet powerful examination of Georges Seurat's life in painting life around him on a series of Sundays, laughs, tears, and humanity will be discovered. Relationships and emotions that will hit home harder than the smell of baked goods, fresh from a waffle stove. You will be dazzled by the color and life around you with budding romances, the nature of art, and the progress of the medium over the turn on a century. Yes, its not technically a "movie" and yes we are wheeling out the VHS/TV combo like we are back in art school, but Jonathan is dead set on being a model who can concentrate there's no stopping him. Dan on the other hand struggles to make a hat, but I feel through the the tenants of balance, order, design, composition, and harmony he will let whatever comes from him will be new and teach the world to see...

In fair Vienna, the City of Music, two rivals engage in an eternal musical vendetta. No not Dan and Jonathan, but masterful composers Antonio Salieri and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In Milos Forman's 1984 adaptation of Peter Sahffer's play Amadeus (1984) truly enters the Good Movie Podcast? decadent opera house halls with a resounding crescendo. When Salieri devotes his life to God in the pursuit of music, imagine his surprise when his junior the prodigy Mozart starts making immature waves in the realm of classical music. This one means a lot to us and has inspired a lifelong rivalry between us your humble hosts. Jonathan may mock and belittle Daniel's talent at every turn, but under that facade is a thorny jealousy, hidden in musical notation. Will jealousy break what could be a immortal friendship.

Cabell Calloway III (December 25, 1907 – November 18, 1994) was an American jazz singer, songwriter and bandleader. He was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem, where he became a popular vocalist of the swing era. His niche of mixing jazz and vaudeville won him acclaim during a career that spanned over 65 years.[2]Calloway was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the most popular dance bands in the United States from the early 1930s to the late 1940s. His band included trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie, Jonah Jones, and Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry, guitarist Danny Barker, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Cozy Cole.[3]Calloway had several hit records in the 1930s and 1940s, becoming the first African-American musician to sell one million copies of a record. He became known as the "Hi-de-ho" man of jazz for his most famous song, "Minnie the Moocher", originally recorded in 1931. He reached the Billboard charts in five consecutive decades (1930s–1970s).[4] Calloway also made several stage, film, and television appearances. He had roles in Stormy Weather (1943), Porgy and Bess (1953), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), and Hello Dolly! (1967). In the 1980s, Calloway enjoyed a marked career resurgence following his appearance in the musical comedy film The Blues Brothers (1980).Calloway was the first African-American to have a nationally syndicated radio program.[5] In 1993, Calloway received the National Medal of Arts from the United States Congress.[6] He posthumously received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. His song "Minnie the Moocher" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry in 2019.[7] In 2022, the National Film Registry selected his home films for preservation as "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant films".[8] He was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame and the International Jazz Hall of Fame.PICTURE: By William P.

Cotton Club de Francis Ford Coppola sorti en 1984 est un film à grand spectacle qui fait revivre les années folles, lʹessor du jazz, la Prohibition, la ségrégation, les débuts du cinéma parlant et les guerres de gangs. Coppola plonge dans lʹhistoire de New York et propose un film dʹaction musical musclé. Le Cotton club, fondé par un gangster en 1923, est un club de jazz en vogue à la fin des années 20. Tous les artistes sont noirs, tous les clients sont blancs. Dans ce cabaret, la pègre, les politiciens, les vedettes du moment boivent un alcool interdit et clandestin et sʹencanaillent avec des filles pas farouches. Dans les années 20, le Cotton club de New York permet au jazz né à Chicago et à New Orleans de se populariser. Les personnages à lʹécran sont inspirés de ce microcosme multiculturel dʹHarlem. Italiens, Juifs, Russes, Irlandais, Afro-Américains, ils sont bandits, acteurs, danseurs, chanteurs. Ceux qui connaissent pourront sʹamuser à retrouver des doubles étonnants de Duke Ellington et de Cab Calloway. On y croise Charlie Chaplin et des barons de la pègre. Coppola ajoute dʹautres personnages inventés pour faire avancer son histoire. Derrière cette superproduction, on trouve Robert Evans. Il y aura de gros dépassements de budget, des tensions. Le tournage est chaotique, souvent improvisé, Richard Gere boude pendant plus dʹune semaine, Coppola menace de tout abandonner, dʹautres financiers sont contactés, on finit par retirer la production à Robert Evans. Toutes ces embrouilles participeront à la légende du film, plutôt bien accueilli à sa sortie, légende que nous allons vous raconter.

The Pemmy & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon Podcast
Hey folks, here's the story 'bout Betty the Booper, she was a real sweet boop-a-doop-a-dooper. From being an unnamed poodle singer in a supper club to starring in the Fleischer's first color cartoon, animation's fabulous flapper dazzled audiences with her charm and the adorable voices of Mae Questel, Margie Hines and others. As her earliest version entered the public domain a short while ago, we take a look at a quartet of her short subjects.
Diane and Sean discuss the first(?) motion picture based on an SNL skit.
(Thunder Crash) Tonight, on Good Movie Podcast? we promise an eternal rivalry and a touch of magic in a world obsessed with science. Within the swirling purple potion of immortality Jonathan and Dan are ready for a comedic bloodbath in Robert Zemeckis's eternal classic Death Becomes Her (1993). Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp have been at each other's throats (much like our two hosts) for as long as they can remember. When famed surgeon of the stars, Ernest Menville is thrown in the mix the claws come out. In a story as old as time, when beauty fades these two women will do whatever it takes to stay young forever and come out on top. Luckily for them there is one ancient lady dealing just the sort of a elixir they have been looking for. When things turn violets heads start spinning, shotguns are fired, and many bodies are thrown down staircases. We advise our listeners to learn from this morality tale, and to take care of themselves. Sempre Viva! Live Forever!

This week, the brothers put on the suits, the shades, and the seat belts because we're on a mission from God. Billy, Matthew and Ryan dive into the 1980 Blues Brothers soundtrack, where comedy meets R&B revival. From Aretha's diner sermon to James Brown's church explosion and Cab Calloway's “Hi-de-hi-de-ho,” it's a soundtrack that turned two SNL comedians into legitimate soul ambassadors. Find out how this record resurrected legends, rewired movie soundtracks forever, and still makes you want to floor it down Dodge Street with the windows down.
Get ready for an unforgettable conversation with Shelly Clark, the powerhouse singer, dancer, and actress who helped shape the sound of 1970s R&B as a founding member of the chart-topping girl group Honey Cone.Born in Brooklyn and performing professionally by the age of six, Shelly Clark's career began on Broadway before she went on to tour with legends like Cab Calloway and work as an Ikette in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. But her real breakthrough came in 1968, when she co-founded Honey Cone with Edna Wright and Carolyn Willis.With Holland-Dozier-Holland behind them at the Hot Wax/Invictus label, Honey Cone shot to stardom. Their smash hit “Want Ads” hit No.1 on both the Billboard Pop and R&B charts in 1971 and sold over a million copies. Follow-up hits like “Stick-Up,” “One Monkey Don't Stop No Show,” and “The Day I Found Myself” cemented their place in music history. Honey Cone weren't just about catchy hooks — their lyrics spoke to female empowerment and independence, making them trailblazers in the girl-group era.After the group disbanded, Shelly turned down an offer to join The Supremes and instead found a new path in television, solo work, and later in her personal life. In 1980, she married Verdine White, legendary bassist of Earth, Wind & Fire. Their marriage has lasted more than four decades, built on music, love, and mutual respect. Today, Shelly continues to collaborate with Verdine, including producing his 2024 solo project “Superman.”In recent years, Shelly has also revived Honey Cone with a new lineup, bringing timeless classics to fresh audiences. In 2024, the group released their first single in 50 years — a stunning cover of the Eurythmics' “Here Comes the Rain Again.”This episode dives deep into Shelly Clark's incredible journey — from Broadway beginnings to No.1 hits, from Honey Cone fame to life with Verdine White, and her ongoing legacy as a singer, producer, and keeper of soul and R&B history.If you love 70s soul, R&B girl groups, Earth, Wind & Fire, or music history, this is one story you won't want to miss.If you have any suggestions for guests for this show, or any commnents or feedback please reach out to me via the website https://www.abreathoffreshair.com.au#shellyclark #ikette #honeyCone #earthwindandfire

It's 106 miles to Chicago, they've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and they're wearing sunglasses....The brothers are Joliet Jake Blue (John Belushi) and Elmwood Blues (Dan Ackroyd)....and they're on a mission from God. Well actually they're on a mission to save the Catholic home where they grew up and to get the band back together. Seems simple enough but there are a LOT of obstacles in their way including US Marshalls, Chicago police, Illinois State Troopers, the Illinois Nazis, the Good Ol' Boys, and...the late, great Carrie Fisher playing "Mystery Woman" who comes HEAVILY armed! :o John Landis (Animal House, Coming to America, An American Werewolf in London) directed this wildly ambitious action comedy musical loosely adapted from the two titular fictional brothers who performed on Saturday Night Live around this time. Plot is but an afterthought when you have wall-to-wall car chases and/or extended musical numbers from several R&B music luminaries including Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, and Chaka Khan. And that's not even accounting for an extended stacked cast including Kathleen Freeman, John Candy, Steven Williams, Henry Gibson, Charles Napier, and countless others!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Episode Synopsis:My first exposure to tongue-speaking did not go well. In an “afterglow” service which followed a mid-week Bible study at an Orange County megachurch, a large number of the faithful remained after the study to “experience” the gifts of the Spirit, including the “gift of tongues.” A young pastor took over from the Bible teacher and explained how to begin speaking in tongues. He read several passages from Acts 2 and from 1 Corinthians 12-14 and told us that these verses were proof that the gift is “biblical,” “for today,” and enabled you to by-pass the clutter of the mind to commune with God “in the Spirit.” He then told us, if you'd like to speak in tongues here's what you do. You start by saying “kitty, kitty, kitty,” until the Spirit took over and gave you your prayer language. The room was suddenly filled with people speaking gibberish, swaying, acting as though under the influence, crying, and making contorted faces as they spoke. I wasn't having it, and quietly slipped out. Years later, after my biblical knowledge increased, I realized that the “afterglow” I witnessed that night was very much like what Paul was instructing the Corinthians not to do in the last half of 1 Corinthians 14. There was no interpretation of any of these tongues, though several attendees did offer exhortations of their own utterances, but which very much sounded like Christianese made up on the fly. Everyone spoke at once, and the whole room was filled with tongue-speakers, not merely two or three in order. I was a Christian and still thought these people were crazy. I can only imagine what an unbeliever would think.Once TBN graced the airwaves (emanating from Orange County) tongue-speaking was now televised. This time, tongue-speaking was not done in a worship service but was part of the regular programming and often conflated with predictive prophesy– “the Lord will do this or that, and heal this one or that one.” The interpretation was almost always supplied by the tongue-speaker. The low point came during a televised “anointing service” held at Oral Roberts University in which three older Word-Faith evangelists (Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin Sr. and T. L. Osbourn) anointed three younger Word-Faith evangelists (Kenneth Hagin Jr, Kenneth Copeland, and Richard Roberts). Once anointed, the men acted as though in a drunken stupor, spoke in tongues (one of which sounded like the Cab Calloway's riff from the Blues Brothers–scubity-do, scubity-do--scubity-do). Not a known language. A VHS recording of this made the rounds and to no one's surprise, the universal assessment was “these people are crazy.”This is why a study of Paul's instructions to the churches on 1 Corinthians 14:20-40 about the proper use of prophesy and tongue-speaking is about as practical a matter as one can find. Paul would have none of this. Neither should we.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/
Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are speaking with Josh Langsam, grandson of the great Cab Calloway. Our conversation with Josh was full of amazing family connections as well as a terrific lists of firsts from Cab Calloway that was fascinating to learn about. From fashion to language to composing and performing, Cab Calloway was both an entertainer as well as a cultural icon. While many of us knew him first from his appearance as Curtis in The Blues Brothers film, as the basis for both Jake and Elwood. While that film helped bring Cab back into popular culture, Cab's influence on popular culture in the first half of the 20th century. A song writer and performer whose song “Minnie The Moocher” sold one million copies – the first black entertainer to do so. He was also the first black entertainer to have a radio show and even was made into a cartoon in a Betty Boop short. And if that's not enough, none other than George Gershwin based the character Sportin' Life in the smash hit Porgy and Bess on Cab as well. We spoke to Josh about his grandfather's legacy and how he is working to enhance his legacy in 2025 and beyond. We spoke about Josh's plans for the estate and frankly, the what's and how's of running such an estate. We learned a lot from Josh on this episode as there was a lot to learn. So sit back and take a listen to the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.
Songs include; It Don't Mean a Thing by Ivie Anderson, Do Nothing Till You Hear From me by Al Hibbler, Blue Skies by Jimmy Rushing, Blues In the Night by Cab Calloway, It Ain't Necessarily So by Maxine Sullivan and Night In Tunisia by Sarah Vaughn.
As we continue celebrating Black History Month, actor/playwright/director/producer Wren T. Brown shares the incredible 100-year artistic journey of his family in his new book, A Family Business.

Wren's lineage includes jazz legends, Cotton Club dancers, and Hollywood pioneers, with connections to icons like Nat King Cole, Fats Waller, Ethel Waters, and Cab Calloway. His father, a former child actor and jazz trumpeter, carried on the family tradition, making Wren a fourth-generation artist.

A principios de 1940, un joven llamado Malcolm Little se instala en Boston procedente de las llanuras del Medio Oeste estadounidense. Aquel joven se convertiría con el paso del tiempo en uno de los grandes líderes por los derechos civiles de los afrodescendientes en su país, en Malcolm X.Pero antes se ganó la vida como limpiabotas en los salones de baile de la capital del Estado de Massachusetts. En ellos, el joven conoció a alguno de los grandes músicos de jazz del momento, de Dizzie Gillespie o Count Basie a Lionel Hampton, creando un vínculo que estrechó más tarde en los grandes clubs de Nueva York como el Apollo o el Cotton Club, donde se ha convertido ya en su camello de marihuana de confianza.El podcast Malcolm Jazz es el contenido musical extra que Documentos RNE suma al documental sonoro sobre el líder negro con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento emitido el pasado viernes 17 de enero: Malcolm X, maldito negro. Ahora, en este contenido exclusivo para RNE Audio, el guionista de dicho programa, Alfredo Laín, recibe al director del programa Sólo Jazz de Radio Clásica, Luis Martín, para mantener una conversación donde se habla de swing, segregación racial, drogas y creatividad, y se escucha a Billie Holliday, Glenn Miller o Cab Calloway, entre muchos otros. El objetivo: profundizar en la relación entre Malcolm X, el jazz y sus figuras más destacadas en las décadas de los años 40 y 50, pues como el propio Malcolm dejó escrito: "La música, hermano, es nuestra. Somos nosotros. Y como nosotros, siempre está aquí, rodeándonos, como las infinitas partículas que componen la vida. No se pueden ver, sólo se pueden sentir. La música, como el alma que nunca muere, impregna eternamente la atmósfera con su presencia".Documentos RNE se emite los viernes, de 23 a 24 horas, por Radio Nacional.Escuchar audio

On Dec. 25, 1907, legendary jazz musician and bandleader Cabell “Cab” Calloway was born in Rochester, New York. Raised in Baltimore, Calloway left law school in the 1920s to sing with the Alabamians, launching a career that led him to Chicago's thriving jazz scene and eventually to Harlem's famed Cotton Club. During the 1930s big band era, Calloway's charismatic stage presence and distinctive scat singing style electrified audiences. He recorded iconic hits such as “Minnie the Moocher,” “Kickin' the Gong Around,” “Moon Glow,” and “The Jumpin' Jive.” Calloway continued to perform well into the late twentieth century, captivating new audiences and inspiring generations before his passing on November 18, 1994, at the age of 88.

Day 12 of bootcamp brought us the brilliance of Cab Calloway—a man who left a legacy through his art, but always performed with joy in the present moment. Today's question: Perform or be present? In the age of social media, it's easy to get caught up in performative actions, curating a life for others instead of living it for ourselves. But what matters more: leaving a legacy or being fully present in the now? Can we create authentically, without worrying about the impact it will have years from now? It's a powerful reminder to check in with our intentions. Are we showing up for ourselves, or just for the applause? Cab Calloway reminds us that joy, authenticity, and living in the moment can be their own form of legacy.
This week, we're joined by Mark Popeney, one half of the new podcast Nevermind the Music. With his background as a music professor, Mark takes us through the strange and often challenging journey of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, who unexpectedly scored an Alternative Radio hit with their Cab Calloway-inspired song "Hell." Though lumped into the '90s swing revival, there was something that made them stand out, and this week, we try to pinpoint exactly what that was!

“Harlem is the queen of the black belts, drawing Aframericans together in a vast humming hive . . . from the different states, from the islands of the Caribbean, and from Africa . . . It is the Negro capital of the world.” This is the story of the Harlem Renaissance. In the early twentieth century, many Black families and individuals down South are finding that the only way out is up—to the North. Driven by Jim Crow discrimination and harsh economic realities, hundreds of thousands of African Americans head to cities like Chicago (the “promised land”) or Harlem (“Black Mecca”). This Great Migration fosters communities of gifted artists, and eventually, the rest of the country takes notice. By the 1920s, Black culture is truly blooming. Up-and-coming writers including Zora Neal Hurston and Langston Hughes are crafting literature we still consume some 100 years later. Master musicians like Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald are scattin' up a storm in New York clubs. And let's not forget the visual arts! The Harlem Renaissance features countless artists that contribute mightily to American culture and Black identity: let's meet just a few. (Audio of Cab Calloway was recorded in 1982 at the White Plains Public Library in White Plains, NY, and used with their permission.

The best movie podcast duo out there (sorry, not sorry) is back to discuss John Landis 1980 musical comedy, The Blues Brothers! Raekwon's never seen it before and, boy oh boy, did Nick feel the need to change that. For those of you that don't know, The Blues Brothers is a film adaptation of the popular SNL characters of the same name/real blues revue band led by Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi. The film, which casts them as the Blues, follows them on an adventure to raise $5000 to save the orphanage they grew up in, and finds them joined by legendary black musicians such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles. They've got a souped up car they've named “The Blues Mobile,” a killer band, and they've pissed off everybody they could in the state of Illinois in the process. And you know what else they've got? A heckin' good movie. Like, easily Nick's favorite musical tier stuff. So join Nick and Raekwon as they discuss the classic musical The Blues Brothers, and how it's an important film in Saturday Night Live's canon that is 100% worth watching! Because, really, it's got a sixty car pileup! How many car crashes do you need for a movie to be worth your time??? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mediaobscura/support
Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers By November of 1944 Suspense was pulling a rating of 10.4. There were now more than eight million people tuning in. Roma wines was satisfied as Suspense was providing stiff competition to The Frank Morgan Show running opposite on NBC Thursday nights at 8PM eastern time. On November 9th Lena Horne guest-starred in a Robert L. Richards script called “You Were Wonderful” about the murder of a nightclub singer in South America. Horne is the visiting American singer intent on solving the crime. Lena Horne was born on June 30th, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. Both sides of her family were multi-racial with both African and Native American heritage. Her father Teddy was a one-time owner of a restaurant and hotel while her mother Edna was an actress with a traveling theater troupe. As a young girl Lena's father left the family to move to Pittsburgh, while Lena traveled with her mother around the country before returning to New York City when she was twelve. Lena dropped out of high school at sixteen and joined the chorus line at the Cotton Club. In 1935 she made her first screen appearance as a dancer in Cab Calloway's musical short Jitterbug Party. She got married in 1937, but soon separated from her husband, first touring with bandleader Charlie Barnet in 1940 before returning to New York to work at Cafe Society in Greenwich Village. She soon replaced Dinah Shore as vocalist on NBC's The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street and recorded with Henry Levine and Paul Laval, in June 1941 for RCA Victor. Horne then left New York City for Hollywood, being hired to perform in a Cotton Club-style revue for Cafe Trocadero on the Sunset Strip. In 1942, when she became the first African-American with a major studio contract, it was with the understanding that she wouldn't be obligated to portray servants—a condition that handicapped her entrée into mainstream Hollywood movies. She soon appeared in the films Panama Hattie, Cabin in the Sky, Stormy Weather, Thousands Cheer, Swing Feever, Broadway Rhythm, and Two Girls and a Sailor. With the exceptions of Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather, Lena's early screen appearances were often designed as standalone musical numbers that could easily be cut out in prejudice Southern markets unaccepting of African American performers. Horne's Suspense appearance was big news. Both Spier and his wife Kay Thompson, a friend who worked with her at MGM, pressed the movie studio to allow her to headline the show. Network executives at CBS were concerned that Roma might pull its contract if Southern stations didn't want to air the program. Thompson agreed to appear as Horne's uncredited backup singer in three musical numbers, which Thompson arranged. MGM's publicity department got to work and given the unfortunate day's climate, Horne's appearance was heralded as one of the more daring and successful half hours of network drama at the time. She is the first and only African American to headline Suspense. “It was an event of terrific importance to Lena,” noted Movieland magazine, “for the first time a performance of hers was judged on merit alone; she was announced only as the star of the play, without reference to her race.” Spier noted that in the studio, Lena “seemed so poised, so sure of herself and her every speech, so business-like in her approach to the role.” However when she grabbed his hand for encouragement, she was ice cold. Part of it was performance nerves, but a lot of it came from the anxiety of getting the chance to publicly justify her talent. Horne later said, “Bill was marvelous and intelligent. Anyone married to Kay would have to be strong.” It was an especially memorable and proud evening for members of the African-American community who were glued to their radios in record numbers.
