"Black Pearls" is an anthology of black women singers who made
major contributions to American music. The word anthology derives
from the Greek language meaning "gathering of flowers." In this
collection, Josephine Qualls has described the evolution of Jazz
music and its' related musical forms as embodied in the careers of
these women ranging from Bessie Smith through Ma Rainey, Memphis
Minnie, Pearl Bailey, Ethel Waters, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia
Jackson (mother of pearls) and many others. Also included are
descriptions of several early venues in which black women developed
their talents. The musical art forms of Jazz, Blues, Gospel,
Ragtime and Dixieland highlights the descriptions of the births,
early years and lifelong careers of these African/American women.
Spanning the years from 1895 to the present, this is an engaging
and informative book leaving the reader fascinated by the amazing
variety in this "collection of flowers." "Black Pearls" belongs in
the library of any fan or historian of African/American music.
