of color over the past 100 years and over a wide range of the LGBTQ spectrum. The focus is on the queer and bisexual women of color who enlivened the Harlem blues scene in the 1920s, including the newly popular and celebrated Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, as well as other vital and iconoclastic singers of that era, including Bricktop, Lucille Bogan, Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters, Victoria Spivey, Lucille Hegamin, and the fascinating Gladys Bentley. The net is further extended to include jazz (Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Dinah Washington), pop, rock \u2018n\u2019 roll (Big Mama Thornton), gospel (Sister Rosetta Tharpe), cabaret (Mabel Mercer, Jos\u00e9phine Baker), soul (Carolyn Franklin) and folk (Joan Armatrading, Meshell Ndegeocello, Toshi Reagon, and Laura Love). Of course in this episode the musical categories are as flexible as are the sexual and gender boundaries, so expect to see a lot of genre-hopping as well among these subversive, innovative, and pathbreaking women of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer advgb-dyn-3c7bf8da\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-3b2994ca\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"985\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Gladys-Bentley.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Gladys-Bentley.jpg 630w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Gladys-Bentley-192x300.jpg 192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gladys Bentley, dapper in her trademark white top hat and tails<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer advgb-dyn-13857eb0\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large advgb-dyn-31fd6223\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ed-Pollack-Albert-Wynn-Thomas-A.-Dorsey-Ma-Rainey-Dave-Nelson-and-Gabriel-Washington.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ed-Pollack-Albert-Wynn-Thomas-A.-Dorsey-Ma-Rainey-Dave-Nelson-and-Gabriel-Washington.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ed-Pollack-Albert-Wynn-Thomas-A.-Dorsey-Ma-Rainey-Dave-Nelson-and-Gabriel-Washington-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ed Pollack, Albert Wynn, Thomas A.
