Ma Rainey | Mother of the Blues (Biography)
I always liked her and enjoyed her movies !
Love Her ❤
I just don’t get Dorothy Dandridge and Otto Preminger. One of the sexiest most beautiful woman in the world with Otto Preminger. Now that’s lucky.
Bessie and Georgia White - pioneers of black women's independence and pure sexuality. Georgia: "I'll keep sittin' on it." Bessie: "I need a little sugar in my bowl."
I am65 years old and watched the movie viola davis did an excellent job protraying her. I knew nothing of ms rainey. Thank you for this biopic. Rip ms rainey. ❤❤🎉🎉
Legend
❤Taurus baby ❤️♉️
One of the greatest voices of the twentieth century EVER
She said herself when She got to Paris that the French weren't right in the head with their ideas about black people. Well, She gave them what they came to see, a savage, freshly captured jungle person. But it worked out, being half white was a huge advantage, since black faces on stage were taboo. Marlena Dietrich starred in a movie with the very popular African theme in those days, stripping off a ferocious gorilla costume as a blond Venus. And like Dietrich She was very active entertaining soldiers during wartime, but She was also a spy. A true heroine on many levels. A national French treasure. I wonder if Joesephine wasn't an inspiration for Grace Jones.
Beautiful, I'm so glad to get to listen to this on Ethel Waters. Glory to God! Though she's long gone home, she is a heroine to me. Thank you Jesus for such JEWELS🎉
Thank you for sharing! Your voice is so soothing lol
Glory! Love me some Ethel Waters!
Ethel Waters was THE First in every category! I loved her and continue to adore all she did and all she meant.
❤️
I learned about her from the Viola Davis movie. However, I never heard of Ma Rainy before and that was disappointing because im a huge Blues music fan.
I had the opportunity to visit the school when I was in junior high school and I was so impressed by the dedication, the time and energy Katherine Dunham had dedicated to keeping young children off the streets where crime was rampant. Astounding biography of her🙏🏽Ase’
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful black women ❤2024
ALBERTA !!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, this was a very fair and balanced assessment of a complex personality. I loved the clip of Birmingham Bertha, I loved the sassiness and confidence in her performance. I also enjoyed the duet she did at the end. What a legend! Bless you for this.
❤❤❤❤❤GOD BLESS HER
Bravo and well done on this doc great work great woman Ms Josephine baker
❤
PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE 🍿🎥
I can’t tell you how much this video means! Thank you! Catherine Dunham was and always will be a treasure and inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Who do y'all think could play Ma Rainey if they made a bio-pic? Viola Davis and Mo'Nique were both great as Ma Rainey in other movies. But if they make a new Ma Rainey movie, I'd like to see Leslie Jones in the role!
Interesting choice. I could see Leslie Jones as Ma Rainey.
Ma Rainey's music carried me through some dark times in my life. I love her so much. I'm happy that her legend continues to grow! The mother of the blues and rock n roll.
Nothing like the Empress....#1:then and now.

Amazing Performer and Blues Trailblazer and Icon!! Keep on Singing, Empress Bessie...❤
Thank you for making this!
Pearl was my absolute favorite actress and singer growing up
Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this study on Ms Hurston. You’ve inspired me to pay a visit to the museum that honors her work. Thank you.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching.
racism is disgusting and unwarranted… very sad.!!!!!
Great documentary 👏👏👏
I love Ma Rainey.❤
We love her here too!
Ps.. i had no idea she had such a sensational, beautifully natural French style tremolo voice! My eyes are wet! Brava, Madamoiselle Josefine, Brava!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Seeing her later pictures and show stopping images; and hearing about her very early childhood, the financial underprivilege, the cut-throat world of show business as a black or white performer, Miss Josephine was several things I do believe. She was a consummate star and lady, who performed on her own terms, almost impossible a thing back then or now.A true mother, on her own terms, an activist and an old soul. I adore how she didn't allow the men in her lifcontrol her destiny.🙏🏼🌎❤️🩹🦋🧁🪷🌼😍🫱🏻🫲🏿💛✊🏽
I've looked for hours and this is the only documentary I've found on this lady. She was one of Poison Ivy's influences. If it had not been for this bad ass lady The Cramps wouldn't exist.
I don’t like she was nude on stage.
Talented and her story is so interesting. She was pretty but she sure could make crazy faces.
You don't mess with Bess
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching.
Same I love this, great coverage
This is a beautiful video. She is an amazing beauty, dancer, singer, fashionista, activist and trailblazer. I just ❤her!
Ma rainey was a legend ❤
Love Her ❤
