More than 30 years after her death, Josephine Baker is remembered as a dynamic and dazzling star who remained at the top of her profession for half a century.

Her debut in Paris in the 1920s was a sensation and Josephine became the toast of the city overnight. The French embraced Josephine and this love affair would last well until and beyond her death. In the French capital she starred in spectacular revues, films and later on, concerts and television. As her fame grew Josephine thrilled audiences in Britain and returned to America to perform many times.

To celebrate the centenary of Josephine Baker this year we have released this tribute CD with 27 tracks spanning the years 1930-1953, her most prolific period of recording. We hope these songs will help to illustrate the immense versatility of her singing. Five of the numbers appear for the first time on CD.
