During the 1920s and 30s, many of the biggest stars of the time, including Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters, Porter Grainger, Josephine Baker, Frankie Half-Pint Jaxon, Lucile Bogan, Tony Jackson and Clara Smith - were openly celebrating LGBTO lives through the songs they wrote, performed and recorded.
Award-winning author Darryl W. Bullock brings their stories to the fore through contemporary reports, interviews, news articles and rare archive material, painting a vibrant picture of a revolutionary period in both popular music and Queer history that has long been overlooked.
