Origins of the Red Hot Mama

• Track Listing

It is hard to imagine just how popular Sophie Tucker was in her prime, but she was quite possibly the most dominate force in entertainment in the 19-teens and '20s. a master of the double entendre and a showwoman like no other, this singer stayed at the top of the bill in vaudeville and on Broadway, hobnobbed with royalty and was the ringleader of the flappers all through the jazz age. This special collection includes a 72-page booklet and 24 extremely rare recordings from 1910 to 1922.
