Like my grandfather, they remember his partner who died on stage in my grandfather's arms. There were and always the best of brothers from another mother if there ever was. But it was my grandfather who taught and lit that fire of ragtime in his buddy's music? No one remembers that or Grandpa either?
I'm speechless at the fact that we didn't know this was the first black woman, not Oprah, but Hazel, to have her own show? Back then? She was before her time. Thank you for posting.
@Von Want to really talk about being educated?? You and your family have done shit in music, period. My grandfather invented JAZZ, ran with his posse, that included his best friend, Scott Joplin. So European shut the fuck on a matter you! have no background in, to talk about the subject? Now let the grown up's talk....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Sweatman
My Queen. I am honored to be your granddaughter You were a threat to the powers that be you stood up where others held fear. Incorruptible. For that they tried to hide you, and make life hard for your legacy. I love you and know you are watching over us. Rest in power 👑
Ruthie's vlog World I just asked people to honor her by never giving into the hate that runs rampant in this world, & appreciate those who have paved the way for us ❤️ Back in her days it was hard in this industry for African American or any one of dark pigmentation to get the places she was able to. She was beautiful inside out just hypnotizing.
So many pieces of shit are remembered today ... still someone decent and extraordinary like her can be forgotten... Thank you putting the light on her 👍🏿
That's why YOU should respect & be aware of jazz musicians and the turmoil that they went through for future black generations freedom ........& the hip hop youths makes the money but squander it on foolishness instead of investing for the next-generations
They tend to do that to us, when we decide that they don't own us. When we stand up for our dignity it's something they can not digest. Some Black People have to understand that we don't have to live by their perception of us, we are a dynamic Race and they know it as well as we do. Dignity, Class, Style, Grace, Self Worth, and Standing Up for yourself and others to be treated right, breaks barriers.

AnastasiaLUVSU that’s how it looks this is wrong black high class Artist had it all but yet still treated like rubbish , OMG 😮 so against humanity, this is still happening now 2019
They dumb you down in school, even on a college level do they keep your mind in darkness! They show you what they want, teach you about their story, never about his-story or the truth on any subject but what the district approves. Social media is the only weapon that they never counted on to open the door. But don't be surprised if this video is somehow deleted someday, it's the only way to keep it all a secret...
@alterdestiny I said it's up to US to continue her memory...… That's the same as " It's up to you to continue the past "...…. I didn't say she WASN'T popular...…. all I said is there are those who DON"T want us to know about her DUE to her greatness.... simple as that......and that INCLUDES the school system...…..
Someone in the Black Hollywood movie industry definitely needs to!!! Spike or Malcolm or the Brother who did Black Panther(his name escapes me right now). I love Tyler but I'm not sure he would do it justice and definitely not Daniels!
@Gaenor Rees Are you saying the info in the video about Hazel being a pianist is untrue??? Well I hope you have proof since you've come online and blatantly came online and called this woman a liar! Maybe you should have had the proof BEFORE making such an accusation!😡😶
a postage stamp would be perfect Janelle Penny Commissiong got a postage stamp for being the first Trinidadian Miss Universe, so Hazel Scott definitely deserves one.
In her biography , she was about to visit Trinidad with her family to show them the country of her birth which she left at the age of four in 1924 . She however feel ill and died shortly after.
In the end it's a Hollywood \ Money White Green-lit issue......but YES this Story and ""The Black Count"" the story of the writer of the Three Musketeers and Count of Monte Cristo"s Black Father.......SHOULD BE TOLD AND SHOWED.
It is disgusting that this woman's legacy has been basically erased from our nation's history. How many challenges she faced and preserved through are moments that need to be studied and revered. I just don't get it, it very sad. Yet she remained strong it seems throughout it all. God bless her memory and thank you for bringing her back to us all.
DUDE Hazel Scott didn’t just make a good lump of money she made the equivalent of a MILLION DOLLARS a YEAR when she worked and performed her swinging classics. She was amazing 🙌
As a Trinidadian she should have been given a Damehood, surely? Unless she gave up her nationality by birth? Her father was from Liverpool, England and, therefore, British. Shame she didn't come here to live. The French appreciated her, I am glad to say. Vive la Hazel!
Still in 2019 we are asking people for their respect she DEMANDED it in the 1950'S and got it and she was a black woman.. If miss Scott could achieve that kind of respect and power in her time then Dammmmm !!!!! I have no excuse .. Wish me luck ..

As a Trinidadian I've known about Hazel Scott since childhood......My Grandparents told me about her and Winifred Atwell, another great Pianist from Trinidad. Many women from that period were truly classy, elegant and remarkable. Thank you for posting this!
@@roybodden9243 ......Nice! It's a pleasure to meet a you. I lived in Cayman for some years, and I still visit when I can. You take care.....All the best!
Glen Soul I though that I was the only one that ever heard ofWinifred Atwell,especially in the U.S. I bought those LPs in 1962. I didn't know who she was, but I liked the selection in the albums so I bought them and didn't regret the purchase at all. In fact, I still have them in my collect of 4,761 LPs.
She's being black-balled because she's not being a shuck and jive NIGGAH who takes whatever crumbs is giving to her. And they demand the utmost RESPECT for THEMSELVES follow BLACK WOMAN and THEIR RACE
@@toddmason8013you can dig and dig and still miss heavy weights. The genre is so broad and deep, with countless albums and live recordings and only so many hours in the day. One can be devoted fan and miss her - esp if you like listening to recordings more than once!
So freakin sad that so many African American geniuses had to go or flee to Paris or other European countries received the recognition and appreciation they were due. I agree with an earlier post, this is big-screen worthy.
Beautiful! I knew about Ms. Scott because my mother played piano and kept us well informed of how talented she was. My brother and I listened to her music. She was a marvelous woman!🤩❤
Eliah Holiday dam right , blacks landed America before The whites did , OMG they messed up get life , smart beautiful lady they destroyed her marriage , her soul forever lives in the lords world
I agree, WOW what a powerful black woman of the world. I never knew this history. MAKE AMERICA GREAT, (STOP) trying to keep these great stories, of great black people hidden from the world.
Thank you Eve Goldberg! SUPERB production! My mother who is now 90 told us about Hazel Scott, her career, marriage, blacklisting, Dumont Television variety show, and most importantly, her amazing, stalwart, integrity and values! Again, I cannot thank you enough for producing such a wonderful, substantive and interesting production! Bravo, and Mazel Tov! Keep up the great work!
She needs to go down in the history books of America as (If she hasn't already) as a true legend both as a musician and supporter of African American civil rights!
African American humanity - this is the best thing about us and like her we should never compromise it. What a gifted Black woman. And big break at 19 with help from Billie Holiday -- Get outta town!
Hollywood still hates her, they made a blood oath to never allow her any recognition, why do you think nobody has tried to make a movie about her? they will never...
Judy Jones as a musician , she's an inspiration and a legend. I'm teaching about her or use this video for my classroom next black history month. Wow. Respect to Hazel Scott.
I feel the same, how has she slipped by and I don't have a single one of her songs. It's a fine line she walked and politics and work don't mix unless your the boss. She was brave and American & her fight against segregation should be printed as one of the greats!
I have a book that was writtabout the life of hazel scott usa should be of uas long ugly history od racial injustices harry cohen was a jerk may he spin in his grave the ussa mocked this country for preaching to the world about human injustice while not loiking at the usa racialhistory
Ms Goldberg thank you for this wonderful story on the fantastic Hazel Scott. Ms. Scott was a talented musical genius who was beautiful with an unwavering dignity and sense of self. I wish Spike Lee, HBO or Oprah Winfrey would bring this story to to a film or TV project soon.
To bad if one has to look to these compromised individuals to create anything now... people will learn about her and others because they are Waking Up....the Vibrations are Higher now... good people are being made know to All again...not hidden any longer...it is Happening...All those Wonderful ones had to move to Paris to not Comprise their Principals...black people who were Willing to compromise stayed in America... some changed faith or religion...it has been a very hard and rough road...but things are coming back into Divine Balance we will see... change now💜💜🙋👁👏👏
I don't think you can expect much from Spike Lee, HBO or Oprah Winfrey, because they seem to be at opposite sides of the political spectrum as Hazel Scott!
Very obvious why she was erased from American history. Cant have a black woman standing up for herself in an era where you must be put into your place and very talented at the same damn time! "THE HAZEL SCOTT MOVIE"... someone please make this. Thanks in advance
Alicia Keys would be great in this wonderful role! So would Halle Berry, Who doesn’t play piano to my knowledge, but as an incredible actress would learn the moves. I am a pianist, and I watched Richard Dreyfuss years ago on “The Competition.” This man had all the moves to convince me he was ally playing that piano, when he was not!
Absolute Beauty What are you talking about you just heard them say she was rich and famous, was in three films and even had her own TV show. Throughout history massively famous and successful people have disappeared from the scene.
Such a wonderful account of Hazel Scott, whom I had never heard of until now. I have become a fan instantly! Thank you Eve Goldberg for creating this documentary of an American treasure.
Thank you for this historic and marvellous presentation. I can't believe I'd never heard of this brilliantly talented classy lady. Plays and sings with absolute mastery and ease. Her intelligence, beauty and humanity makes her even greater than ever. Hazel Scott, genius indeed. You were a treasure and are missed. God bless her soul.
OMG!!!!! I concur....there needs to be a movie about her. Eve thank you for sharing. Not only an outstanding musician but a Civil Rights Activist. Beatiful `\o/`
THE TATALICIOUS CHANNEL Those were some good times in it too. Ppl came thru hard times it gave them great CHARACTER 👌...Unlike today so fake & unreal as a human being...smh
What a wonderful character she was. To suppress someone from history is among the worst kind of assassination...Thanks for the video!! Hopefully it gets shared so that more people can discover her.
They called that black balling like many black stars when they refused to comply with the white man's games and rules still going on today they just don't talk about the business just wipe you out or get the goat to do the job!!
Look Up Paul Robeson.. Canada Lee..Harry Belafonte ..Oscar Micheaux and countless others you've never been properly introduced to or heard of. You're welcome.
Same here - it kept coming up in my feed because I wanted to find out about Victor Feldman after seeing his name on a few Steely Dan pieces from the 80's. Man, am I ever glad I finally found the time to watch this and learn more about this woman than just being the wife of Adam Clayton Powell...
A spine of steel and fingers of silk. She was a woman of character. Thank you for introducing her to me. I now have to get the book about her and start collecting her music.
Now that’s what you call multifaceted. She was drop dead gorgeous, mega talented, graceful, brave and proud. I have watched a few of her performances online from archives and heard a song or two. I appreciate the person who uploaded this for us. Thank you. I hope to find more.💃🏽🙌🏽🎊🤩🎹
Apart from her brilliant musical abilities, Hazel Scott was a person of high integrity and values. I had heard of her previously but I never knew the story behind her life. Thank you Ms Goldberg.
I’m a Trini and now hearing of her through a tictok vid. These persons should be thought in our history books. This was a remarkable, talented and graceful woman. Who stood against injustice and protected peoples dignity. Because of it she had to pay like others. Proud of her. Thanks for sharing May her soul Rest In Peace
I was born in 1981 and I knew about her because I read all sorts of books as a child. I was fascinated with this queen and she made me love playing the piano.
M G it's good to know that our young youth read on black history..I'm an 56 yr old African American woman and I never heard of her. Someone needs to do a movie on her life like the other legends in her time
Look at her go...I love watching these documentaries I never knew who she was until tonight...yesterday I watched lena horne and all this talent my people had and still have...watching these documentaries makes me proud of my skin and heritage...beyond thankful🤗🤗
Are any of you commentators from the Big Apple???? Well I want you to know that Hazel Scott & Co. were the houseband at NYC's eastside EL MOROCCO CLUB. (early 70s). I was attending college full time & moonlighting as a cabbie. As soon as I saw her name at EL MOROCCO , I made it my business to attend a performance. I went back several times and always enjoyed Hazel's performances. I m bragging. I knew that the great Scott was history in the making.
I was introduced to Hazel Scott at a club on York Ave.in the 70s, through another musician. The club was around 59, and York I do not remember exactly what street.
There were times during this movie, where Hazel looked just like Anita Baker to me. It was so uncanny, the way she smiled, and it turned her face into another Anita. This was brilliant! I’d never heard of her! Thank you, Eve, for exposing me to such a phenomenal woman. 🌈
i just found out about her!!!!!!! Oh my God what a woman!!!!!!! why they dont talk about those wonderful people who did fight so hard for some changes and our society! those people did opened the doors for us! bless her!!!! i am going to share it right now ❤️
Thank you, Eve, for letting me hear new things about Hazel Scott that I hadn't known. She should be known throughout America for her bravery and her preforming skill.
The worst kind of assassination is to erase someone from memory. Thank you for resurrecting her!
Awesome lady smart and gifted
I agree. So glad you liked the video!
You can thank the GOP,Joe McCarthy and the FBI under Hoover for that.During WW2,Scott did a concert where some Soviet troops were in the front row.In the early '50s,McCarthy got wind of it and called her on the carpet.He conveniently forgot the Soviets were our ally against Hitler during WW2.Scott was married to Adam Clayton Powell then.Powell was like Al Sharpton then.

To busy with. Konye. Jzee. Snoop. People with no talent

As a Trinidadian I've known about Hazel Scott since childhood......My Grandparents told me about her and Winifred Atwell, another great Pianist from Trinidad.
Many women from that period were truly classy, elegant and remarkable.
Thank you for posting this!
Glen Soul I have two LPs by Winifred Atwell. She was an incredible pianist.
Mr. Bodden.....I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you from Cayman?
Glen Soul yes I am, but I've spent most of my live in the U.S.
@@roybodden9243 ......Nice! It's a pleasure to meet a you. I lived in Cayman for some years, and I still visit when I can. You take care.....All the best!
Glen Soul I though that I was the only one that ever heard ofWinifred Atwell,especially in the U.S. I bought those LPs in 1962. I didn't know who she was, but I liked the selection in the albums so I bought them and didn't regret the purchase at all. In fact, I still have them in my collect of 4,761 LPs.
Black. Beautiful. Brilliant. !!!
And West Indian 😉
Boring....
Black-balled for wanting to be treated with dignity and respect... still going on today.
Harry Cohn ...
Monique is going through it right now
@@wjsjallday9202 please elaborate?
She's being black-balled because she's not being a shuck and jive NIGGAH who takes whatever crumbs is giving to her. And they demand the utmost RESPECT for THEMSELVES follow BLACK WOMAN and THEIR RACE
SMH! This is America
a true Jazz Legend. it's a damn shame that people who are relatively familiar with jazz, have never heard of her. they practically erased her.
Thank God for You tube! Couldn't do with out you!!
Most womens contributions are erased or stolen by men.
Yeah like me dammit, well now i know, she had a lil Oscar pedersonish
Well, a lot of casual jazz fans don't dig into the history of the music.
@@toddmason8013you can dig and dig and still miss heavy weights. The genre is so broad and deep, with countless albums and live recordings and only so many hours in the day. One can be devoted fan and miss her - esp if you like listening to recordings more than once!
So freakin sad that so many African American geniuses had to go or flee to Paris or other European countries received the recognition and appreciation they were due. I agree with an earlier post, this is big-screen worthy.
darylmichael7 - Casualties of this sort come in all shapes and colors; think about it.
So did white JAZZ artists. To Japan also.
People that are pointing out the fact that non-black people had to do it too are totally missing the point. Damn shame.
Darylmichael, I totally agree with you this should be made into a full length movie, maybe Alicia Keys could play the lead.
robocat10 Alicia would be a great choice. 👍🏽
I've never heard of this woman! Thank you for bringing her into my life.
Exactly
Beautiful! I knew about Ms. Scott because my mother played piano and kept us well informed of how talented she was. My brother and I listened to her music. She was a marvelous woman!🤩❤
A woman too good for the pettiness of her time.
right!!!
So true.
Eliah Holiday dam right , blacks landed America before The whites did , OMG they messed up get life , smart beautiful lady they destroyed her marriage , her soul forever lives in the lords world
Pettiness? You must be white.
Ms. Goldberg, your profile of Hazel Scott is absolutely excellent. Loved every second. Great job !!!
Thank you, Mr. Pruitt. I'm glad you liked it.
very smart n not a sell out😊
Eve Goldberg thank you Cherub from the heart for this. Blessings to you from the Magi in the East 🇲🇦✡️🙏🏿
Awesome truth! Thank you so much! More please!
We need a film made about her life, a hit for sure! 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥
I agree, WOW what a powerful black woman of the world. I never knew this history. MAKE AMERICA GREAT, (STOP) trying to keep these great stories, of great black people hidden from the world.
Thank you Eve Goldberg! SUPERB production! My mother who is now 90 told us about Hazel Scott, her career, marriage, blacklisting, Dumont Television variety show, and most importantly, her amazing, stalwart, integrity and values! Again, I cannot thank you enough for producing such a wonderful, substantive and interesting production! Bravo, and Mazel Tov! Keep up the great work!
We musicians owe so much to this woman. Her story should be much more known.
She needs to go down in the history books of America as (If she hasn't already) as a true legend both as a musician and supporter of African American civil rights!
Outstanding! Wonderful!
African American humanity - this is the best thing about us and like her we should never compromise it. What a gifted Black woman. And big break at 19 with help from Billie Holiday -- Get outta town!
Hollywood still hates her, they made a blood oath to never allow her any recognition, why do you think nobody has tried to make a movie about her? they will never...
She was an American hero! I had no idea about her!
Auntie Judy... she is was west indian but accultured american.
Judy Jones as a musician , she's an inspiration and a legend. I'm teaching about her or use this video for my classroom next black history month. Wow. Respect to Hazel Scott.
Amen
Nobody did.
I feel the same, how has she slipped by and I don't have a single one of her songs. It's a fine line she walked and politics and work don't mix unless your the boss. She was brave and American & her fight against segregation should be printed as one of the greats!
She took a stand when it wasn’t easy and she was dignified!
I am honored that she is my ancestor...
Otto Green you must be related to the Samuel and King clan in Trinidad.
I have a book that was writtabout the life of hazel scott usa should be of uas long ugly history od racial injustices harry cohen was a jerk may he spin in his grave the ussa mocked this country for preaching to the world about human injustice while not loiking at the usa racialhistory
Ihope her son is alive and doing well ruby
What a story. What a woman. Thanks.
What a story on the eve of these mid-term elections. ...a beautiful soul. Hazel Scott is deserving to be seen on the big screen.
hedy pickersgill And so many Black Women won in Midterms this year. And Stacey is refusing to concede to the cheater, Kemp.
Ms Goldberg thank you for this wonderful story on the fantastic Hazel Scott. Ms. Scott was a talented musical genius who was beautiful with an unwavering dignity and sense of self. I wish Spike Lee, HBO or Oprah Winfrey would bring this story to to a film or TV project soon.
To bad if one has to look to these compromised individuals to create anything now... people will learn about her and others because they are Waking Up....the Vibrations are Higher now... good people are being made know to All again...not hidden any longer...it is Happening...All those Wonderful ones had to move to Paris to not Comprise their Principals...black people who were Willing to compromise stayed in America... some changed faith or religion...it has been a very hard and rough road...but things are coming back into Divine Balance we will see... change now💜💜🙋👁👏👏
I don't think you can expect much from Spike Lee, HBO or Oprah Winfrey, because they seem to be at opposite sides of the political spectrum as Hazel Scott!
I can guarantee you, that Jill Scott, heard of her. She favors her, a lot!
Very obvious why she was erased from American history. Cant have a black woman standing up for herself in an era where you must be put into your place and very talented at the same damn time! "THE HAZEL SCOTT MOVIE"... someone please make this. Thanks in advance
Who do you think should play her?
Absolute Beauty I agree whole heartedly! Let the movie makes begin to take note and get process started!!!!!
Alicia Keys would be great in this wonderful role! So would Halle Berry, Who doesn’t play piano to my knowledge, but as an incredible actress would learn the moves. I am a pianist, and I watched Richard Dreyfuss years ago on “The Competition.” This man had all the moves to convince me he was ally playing that piano, when he was not!
Absolute Beauty
What are you talking about you just heard them say she was rich and famous, was in three films and even had her own TV show.
Throughout history massively famous and successful people have disappeared from the scene.
Absolute Beauty
Stop exaggerating.
She hasn't been erased from American history.
You just weren't educated in jazz
So glad this came up in my feed. She was clearly a beautiful soul. I'll be sure to tell everyone I know about this treasure!
pigskin are evil
Such a wonderful account of Hazel Scott, whom I had never heard of until now. I have become a fan instantly! Thank you Eve Goldberg for creating this documentary of an American treasure.
I really enjoyed watching this ... I never heard of her ... what a shame. She is so inspirational.. so ahead of her time .. wow!!! Love this video!!!
Thank you for this historic and marvellous presentation. I can't believe I'd never heard of this brilliantly talented classy lady. Plays and sings with absolute mastery and ease. Her intelligence, beauty and humanity makes her even greater than ever. Hazel Scott, genius indeed. You were a treasure and are missed. God bless her soul.
OMG!!!!! I concur....there needs to be a movie about her. Eve thank you for sharing. Not only an outstanding musician but a Civil Rights Activist. Beatiful `\o/`
She was amazing and beautiful too.
What a shame this kind of talent became so obscure and was forgotten like this. Thank you for telling her story.
I refuse to play a mamy, prostitute or servant in real life either! Thank you God for Hazel Scott
THE TATALICIOUS CHANNEL Those were some good times in it too. Ppl came thru hard times it gave them great CHARACTER 👌...Unlike today so fake & unreal as a human being...smh
Have to have discernment in all that we do. Don't take any role just for money
Spread the Word
THE TATALICIOUS CHANNEL she is true African accent Queen 👸 Hazel was dam right too put her rights forward
THE TATALICIOUS CHANNEL you are so beautiful and respectful
What a wonderful character she was. To suppress someone from history is among the worst kind of assassination...Thanks for the video!! Hopefully it gets shared so that more people can discover her.
I just found out about this woman a few hours ago. STUNNING. This posting is excellent. Thank you!
evensteve284
Thanks Jr!!!!
Wonderful documentary. Thank you Eve!! What a talent!!
Me too and i'm 55 years old.
@evensteve284
Shockingly I just learned of her as well, she was an extraordinary woman.
Thank goodness for RUclips!
I have been listening to Jazz for 52 years and I've never heard of Hazel Scott! Thank you SO much for bringing her story to light.
Is that crazy how someone can get erased from history ? Wow
They called that black balling like many black stars when they refused to comply with the white man's games and rules still going on today they just don't talk about the business just wipe you out or get the goat to do the job!!
@@maudeneyarber9997 good point
Great video! I'm an old soul. Read about Hazel Scott' genius when i was 15years old. I'm now 55. Thank u for sharing
Imagine if black men in Hollywood would stand up like this strong black woman. Our black women have always led the way. Thank you queen.
What if black women stood up for themselves the way Mrs Scott did
All respect comes from self respect
@@TheCritic9196 We have all the time. Tubman stood up for black men ,women and kids.✌🏿
Look Up Paul Robeson.. Canada Lee..Harry Belafonte ..Oscar Micheaux and countless others you've never been properly introduced to or heard of. You're welcome.
@@bobby12348 Nat Turner too.
The only thing that stands up in Hollywood for BLK men is their penis & it's ashame.
I finally decided to watch and I'm so glad I did.
Same here. I'm happy that I did too. She was brilliant and stood by what she believed.
Same here - it kept coming up in my feed because I wanted to find out about Victor Feldman after seeing his name on a few Steely Dan pieces from the 80's. Man, am I ever glad I finally found the time to watch this and learn more about this woman than just being the wife of Adam Clayton Powell...
You can never erase perfection! Rock on Hazel Scott 😘
A spine of steel and fingers of silk. She was a woman of character. Thank you for introducing her to me. I now have to get the book about her and start collecting her music.
Now that’s what you call multifaceted. She was drop dead gorgeous, mega talented, graceful, brave and proud. I have watched a few of her performances online from archives and heard a song or two. I appreciate the person who uploaded this for us. Thank you. I hope to find more.💃🏽🙌🏽🎊🤩🎹
WOW she was a class act, the real deal. I've never heard of her till today, thanks for the upload.
Hazel was very beautiful.
Apart from her brilliant musical abilities, Hazel Scott was a person of high integrity and values. I had heard of her previously but I never knew the story behind her life. Thank you Ms Goldberg.
I’m a Trini and now hearing of her through a tictok vid. These persons should be thought in our history books. This was a remarkable, talented and graceful woman. Who stood against injustice and protected peoples dignity. Because of it she had to pay like others. Proud of her. Thanks for sharing
May her soul Rest In Peace
She's on tic Tok now?? Wow! Glad
I was born in 1981 and I knew about her because I read all sorts of books as a child. I was fascinated with this queen and she made me love playing the piano.
That's what's up!
M G it's good to know that our young youth read on black history..I'm an 56 yr old African American woman and I never heard of her. Someone needs to do a movie on her life like the other legends in her time
She's beautiful! And talented
Fantastic! I'm in love with Hazel Scott, and you've brought her to life so movingly. Thank you!
Her ex husband ex wife cursed her.
Amen
@Freddie Davis amen
Falana Jerid
@@josierobinson2021 thank you
1:00 What a face! A stunningly sexy and gorgeous woman! She had a killer smile. What a pianist and singer she was! A complete artist. Elite!
@John Waters . That is so disrespectful.
John Waters seriously leave black women alone
@MsWhoEverWhatEver That's far fetched, however I could do without their staring!
Congratulations Eve, on rescuing this amazing cultural personality and human rights activist. She deserves the best!
Beautiful , Black, and Brilliant.oh and she also plays piano
Hazel Scott was the dream of so many black women wanting to play piano and sing...So nice o find this here. Thank you...Morgan Lewis
I salute this beautiful black woman....i didnt even know existed until now!
Me too! I just learnt about her today May, 2021 and I'm a Trinidadian. She was an amazing Woman even by today's standards. A true She-roe.
Look at her go...I love watching these documentaries I never knew who she was until tonight...yesterday I watched lena horne and all this talent my people had and still have...watching these documentaries makes me proud of my skin and heritage...beyond thankful🤗🤗
Are any of you commentators from the Big Apple???? Well I want you to know that Hazel Scott & Co. were the houseband at NYC's eastside EL MOROCCO CLUB. (early 70s). I was attending college full time & moonlighting as a cabbie. As soon as I saw her name at EL MOROCCO , I made it my business to attend a performance. I went back several times and always enjoyed Hazel's performances. I m bragging. I knew that the great Scott was history in the making.
Thanks for sharing, Fast Eddie.
Ace of Spades..
I was introduced to Hazel Scott at a club on York Ave.in the 70s, through another musician. The club was around 59, and York I do not remember exactly what street.
What a courageous woman!
I just learned about one tough, courageous and talented person. We could use her today!
I had no idea about this amazingly talented woman. I don't think I've ever seen someone so stunningly beautiful.
Absolutely fabulous she was a beauty, voluptuous and extremely talented.
There were times during this movie, where Hazel looked just like Anita Baker to me. It was so uncanny, the way she smiled, and it turned her face into another Anita. This was brilliant! I’d never heard of her! Thank you, Eve, for exposing me to such a phenomenal woman. 🌈
Actually Anita Baker looked like her...she was born first but i understand that you knew about Anita Baker for a long time before seeing this video.
I had just said the same thing!! 😄
Actress Tessa Thompson would give a perfect depiction in a Hazel Scott biopic film. Ms. Scott and Tessa have VERY similar features.
I can see where Alisha Keys got her ideas of performing on two pianos at the same time. - March 2019.
Brains beauty integrity talent and courage...of course!
She was so ahead of her time and so smart. She's also so beautiful and amazingly talented. 💙💙
i just found out about her!!!!!!! Oh my God what a woman!!!!!!! why they dont talk about those wonderful people who did fight so hard for some changes and our society! those people did opened the doors for us! bless her!!!! i am going to share it right now ❤️
I remembered doing research on her back when I was teenager I was highly impressed by her talent thank you for this
This is an amazing mini-doc! I'm so glad RUclips suggested it. :)
Alicia mentioned her in the Grammy's when she played 2 pianos.
MAYBE SHE SHOUD DO SOMETHING THEN !!!!!! THEY HAVE SOOOO MUCH MONEY !!! SO LITTLE MEMORY !
Exactly 🙄
Thank you, Eve, for letting me hear new things about Hazel Scott that I hadn't known. She should be known throughout America for her bravery and her preforming skill.
I really enjoyed this. Blacklisting still goes on in 2018. I know because it happened to me.
OmG this sista had magical hands!!! WoW I wonder why we never heard of her!!!
The absolute hypocrisy of the United States, isn't China and Korea the United States close trading partners blatant communists countries.
I never heard of her...colour me fascinated...thanx❗🎼🌚🍷
