Waters Ethel group of six items dating from 1934 to 1959 documents the stage and screen career of Ethel Waters a central figure in twentieth century African American performance history whose work in theater music and film intersected with the integration of American entertainment industries.

We have no record player so have not attempted to play either side of this record. Ethel Waters was the star vocalist on the Black Swan label. She was "born again" after attending a Billy Graham Crusade in 1957 and often sang "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and perhaps other songs but probably neither of the songs on this record at Billy Graham Crusades during the last two decades of her life.
