You're so correct. I've just discovered her. Wow!! She had a beautiful voice. She came before her time. I'm so sorry for the disappointments with the music business. It's a doggy dog business.
I've known of Joyce Bryant for about 30 or 40 years now. In the early 80's when I was in high school, I was rummaging through the school library and came across a book called "Brown Sugar" by Donald Bogle. It gives history and pictures of black female entertainers from the mid 1800s to the late 70's.
TheLoveme0 now you know I saw that too! I am gonna go through all the women in the past and copy a bit here, copy a bit there! I'VE BEEN DRINKIN'! I'VE BEEN DRINKIN'!
Learned about her while writing an article on Zelda Wynn Valdes (the woman who designed Byrant's dresses). It's such a shame this woman's history been mostly forgotten given how much of an icon she was in the 50s.
I've just discovered her. Wow!! She had a beautiful voice. She came before her time. I'm so sorry for the disappointments with the music business. It's a doggy dog business.
Wow! This piece is so theatrical! I feel like it speaks to her having performed it for audiences first and it being recorded after. Great music, surprising to hear this was provocative considering the things that get popular now lol
Several years ago I got the 8-song 78 "Runnin' Wild" as well as some assorted singles, but never had a way to transfer them. Finally I got a USB turntable that actually played 78s and was able to convert all of the songs I had (11 in all) to digital data.
Phil Moore was the Best! He taught stage presence and everything needed to put on a show. He coached Dorothy Dandridge and I'm pretty sure Lena Horne too. He helped them get on the Sunset Strip, which blew their careers up but hurt Central Avenue.
Joyce you have a beautiful voice. I am just discovering you and that is a shame. I am currently, trying to find more of her music. She is a beautiful DIVA!
Shan Shan She was a hit. She was massively successful during her time. She is not currently known as well as some of her contemporaries, but at the time she was huge
Shan Shan she was huge, I’m just learning about her. They called her the black Marilyn Monroe.... she was the first dark skinned woman to be considered a sex symbol by mainstream media. It was her who left the limelight.
They, the white establish, chose who they want to, even Ethel Waters being dark skinned. I've been trying to understand that for years. Oh well... That's how it goes.I 've just discovered her. Wow!! She had a beautiful voice. She came before her time. I'm so sorry for the disappointments with the music business. It's a doggy dog business.
I understand what you’re saying but it is COLORISM! It was a small percentage of DARK SKIN women being famous back in the day and it still the same today
It's crazy how much Beyoncé resembles her. I guess this is where she got her song " Drunk in Love" from. This woman should have got the credit honestly bc that was a hugggge hit!
Yeza Music, two different songs with similar titles. “Drunk With Love” is a vocal jazz standard from decades ago. Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love” was written for Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album.
Could someone please be so kind and send me her album/songs? I have been trying to find it for ages, on itunes, everywhere... But it's so rare. Could anyone help me? would be much appreciated.
@@sonyaethaniel Somebody posted a very hot pic on FB and I asked for the You Tube link. She was very big in the early 50's, bigger than Ella and Sarah V., then had some racial/political shit and went home but did live shows including musicals, very interesting life , last I heard she is around and in her 80's
She's so fabulous, I think it's a crime more people aren't aware of this divine diva.

That’s a fact
What a voice!! And beautiful!!
Facebook brought me here. Never heard of this fabulous woman before. Just a very beautiful woman an incredible voice. Wow!!

WOW! ❤
Thank God for You Tube 🙏🏾 because we can now bring these iconic black entertainers to the forefront
This trailblazing pioneering woman passed away today
I know! I’m devastated. She never got her due. RIP, our diva.
she didn't get credit because of how beautiful she was and how she was black. They didnt want a black womans beauty to rival a white woman
That makes me so sad.
Facts.
Sad reality but True,That's America 🇺🇸 for you Unfortunately 😔
I WISH HER SONGS WERE AVAILABLE ON CD NOW. SHE HAD A TERRIFIC VOICE AND SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER STAR.
Yes yes And yes
Exactly 💯💯💯
One of my fav divas of all time. Let’s celebrate her life.

Beautiful woman. I love her style.
She is a gorgeous woman
RIP to one of the great ones.
RIP to Ms Bryant❤️
Rest In Peace, Ms. Bryant. I'm sorry it took reading about you in the NY Times obituary to learn about your amazing voice and career.
I've just discovered her. Wow!! She had a beautiful voice. She came before her time. I'm so sorry for the disappointments with the music business. It's a doggy dog business.
I Discovered her sometime this year in the month of July of 2022
Rest in Power. Beautiful, classy lady👑

Joyce is backed on "Drunk With Love" by a 35-piece orchestra playing a Phil Moore arrangement.
Phil Moore was the Best! He taught stage presence and everything needed to put on a show. He coached Dorothy Dandridge and I'm pretty sure Lena Horne too. He helped them get on the Sunset Strip, which blew their careers up but hurt Central Avenue.
REST IN PARADISE JOYCE BRYANT.
Wow, just wow
May she always RIP, man she was the epitome of what i consider sexy.
Joyce you have a beautiful voice. I am just discovering you and that is a shame. I am currently, trying to find more of her music. She is a beautiful DIVA!
So beautiful it hurts.
Hmmmm? Now we know where Beyoncé’s Drunk in love concept comes from!!
True.
The Reaccccccch.
@@kendall7086 how when the title of the song itself is similar…you tried it!!!
The most beautiful woman I laid eyes on. What a divine beauty. “The Bronze Blonde Bombshell” “The Belter” 💓
She should have been a hit, and I hate to call colorism, but that's all I can think of. Then again though. Ethel Waters was dark skinned
Shan Shan She was a hit. She was massively successful during her time. She is not currently known as well as some of her contemporaries, but at the time she was huge
She was huge.. not well known now..

beyonce looks nothing like her tf
+aaliyahcomeback in my opinion she does, tf?
They do not look alike. Beyonce resembles Lana Turner.
+lavinder11 she does to me
Beyonce look like Ms. Tina lol. her Mother. so stop 😂
Shes still with us last i herd. Shes religious now tho. Shes from my grand parents era i think shes fasinating
This song sounds nothing like drunk in love by Beyonce though. Similar song topic is an indication of stealing nowadays?
Yeza Music, two different songs with similar titles. “Drunk With Love” is a vocal jazz standard from decades ago. Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love” was written for Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album.
Lol
vocal instructor to Jennifer Holliday, Phyllis Hyman, and Raquel Welch?

Don't know about you but she's an attractive woman
