Richard Hopkins
Presents The Last of the Red Hot Mamas About Sophie Tucker Born Sophie (or Sonia) Kalish-Abuza on January 13, 1884 in transit between Russia and Poland. A legendary performer of generous proportions, brassy and dynamic, who claimed to be "The Last of the Red Hot Mamas." The daughter of Russian parents, Sophie was taken to the USA when she was three years old. By the time she was 10 years old, Sophie was a singing waitress in her father’s cafe in Hartford, CT, and in 1906 she moved to New York to work at the Cafe Monopole, the German Village Cafe, and then in burlesque, vaudeville, and cabaret. Sometimes, because of her plain appearance she was persuaded to work in blackface, and made a reputation as a "Coon-Shouter" in the ragtime era. After a teenage marriage failed (as did two later marriages), she added "er" to her ex-husband’s name of "Tuck" to create her new stage name. In 1909 she played a small, but telling part in the Ziegfeld Follies. By 1911 she was a headliner, and was able to drop the dreaded blackface for good. In the same year she made her first recording of the song which was to become her life-long theme, forever associated with her: Some of These Days was written by composer-pianist Shelton Brooks, who also wrote The Darktown Strutters Ball . Other hits around this time were , and Knock Wood . When jazz music became the new craze during World War I, Tucker became known as "The Queen of Jazz" and toured with the band "Sophie Tucker and Her Five Kings of Syncopation."

Sophie Tucker made a name for herself in a style that was known at the time as a "Coon Shouter", performing African American influenced songs.

[See Thru] Rank:
Adopting the name of the legendary Vaudeville performer, Sophie Tucker, is just as individual as their namesake. By fusing the popiness of the Beatles, the passion of Nirvana, and the limitlessness vision of Radiohead, Sophie Tucker has a vast, yet distinct sound. The long awaited debut, Samsara , is a fresh and diverse blend of post-grunge and pop with a witty and wistful texture. An evolution of the former Seattle entity, Tribute, Sophie Tucker has been an undeniable force in the Northwest indie scene since the late 90’s. Born out of the grunge era, the trio made their radio debut on the Seattle radio station KNDD’s underground show, The End Zone in ‘97. Tribute’s debut, Denizen , received good reviews, however the music was consistently being mistaken for undiscovered Nirvana recordings. Despite the popularity of the band, who were receiving a fair amount of college radio play, the Nirvana controversy, coupled with the evolution of their song writing, prompted the band to part with the TRIBUTE name. During 2000, Aaron (lead vocalist, guitarist and song writer) wrote productively enough material for three albums. The material on

80. Today In History: January 13
sophie tucker, was born Sophia Abuza on January 13, 1884, in a farmhouse along the road her mother traveled as she emigrated from Russia.
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/jan13.html
The Library of Congress The Last of the Red Hot Mamas
You for Me in the Summertime

Roy Ingraham, composer,
Historic American Sheet Music, 1850-1920
Sophie Tucker, was born Sophia Abuza on January 13 , 1884, in a farmhouse along the road her mother traveled as she emigrated from Russia. They landed at their U.S. destination and joined Sophie's father during an era when millions of Eastern Europeans, many of them Jewish families like the Abuzas, opted for immigration to America. Sophie Abuza began her career as an entertainer while working in Hartford, Connecticut at her father's restaurant, where she earned good tips for adding songs and humor to the service. In her early teens she also performed with her sister at Hartford's Riverside Park amphitheater. After an unsuccessful marriage to one Louis Tuck, she ran away to New York to become a professional entertainer, leaving her infant son in the care of her sister. One of Sophie Tucker's first jobs, in 1907, was at the 125th Street Theater where her strong contralto voice made her a powerful 'Coon Shouter,' a white performer who, in the 19th and early 20th century, sang as a blackfaced minstrel. Tucker often asked to perform without blackface, but was told that she was too "big and ugly" to be featured. When her makeup was lost in transit one day, the opportunity to perform without blackface presented itself and the audience took to her warmly.
