Sister Honky Tonk

(1996) Mae West's career relied entirely on double-entendres and her sexuality, however she gives a pretty good vocal performance on My Old Flame recorded with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1934. The rest .... well, you'll just have to listen. Scans are included (as .tifs). +

As an added bonus I've included the December 12, 1937 radio broadcast of the Chase & Sanborn Hour in which Mae West performed the infamous "Adam and Eve" skit with Don Ameche. The resulting fury of the "moralists" caused NBC to ban her from radio and she wasn't heard on the air again until 1950. Note - Don Ameche's career continued unabated. Look for the full one-hour broadcast with the music in the link above.
