I so admire Ethel Waters. In a tough business, in hard times, she held her own, graciously. A long time ago, I read her autobiography, "His Eye is on the Sparrow." A testament of all she overcame. A truly amazing woman.
The lyrics didn't seem to me to be supporting a subservient life but mourning it. She was aiming for spiritual happiness despite poor circumstance. She pretty much says there's not much point in dreaming when those dreams can't come true (at least on earth). That's a bittersweet melody most of us can relate to, whether fueled by discrimination, poverty, or any burden which thwarts one's dreams. Anyway, Ms. Waters is a joy to watch.
True hearted movie 🍿 thank you have a blessed day worthy of having on your shelft10 stars💯🌟⭐⭐🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐🌟🌟so when you want to see something you have the movie 🍿 I wonder what Miss Waters would say about the movies now 🤔🤔
It's a great pity that the uploader didn't include "Ethel Waters" in the title. Far more people would find the cliip and appreciate that wonderful singer/actress. P.S. "God Is in The Details" Gustave Flaubert
