Eubie Blake Memories of You With Alberta Hunter

[@eyecmypets]

Thanks for posting this brilliant musical interlude of the genius of Eubie Blake and Alberta Hunter. They were stars that will never fade with the passage of time, because of their indelible contributions to music .

This should remind us that everyone was young once and that some age with grace.

Alberta Hunter was a sweetheart, tremendous voice and heart to go along with it. Her and Eubie are two treasures that can never be replicated.

Wow. Eubie Blake in his late 90s still had a genuine spark and a graceful feel for the beautiful music he played and often composed. And hats off to Alberta for her touching reading.

This has really touched me. So glad that I came across this post, and I thank you sincerely for sharing it.

I was at Alberta Hunter's birthday party for her 8?th birthday at the Cookery; Eubie Blake was there as her guest of honor. I will never forget that he ordered a steak and smoked all night! On one of her album jackets she talks about Eubie Blake, quoting him as having answered the question put to him by a reporter, "To what do you attribute your advanced age?" to which he responded, "I really don't know, but I will tell you this; if I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken much better care of myself!"

I had the distinct pleasure to see both of these wonderful artists live before they passed on to that big stage in the sky. :) Memories of both of them.

Simply beautiful! Look at those wonderful long fingers! My short little hands are so envious! Thank you Eubie, for sharing your talent.

This is a treasure! I love this song and I enjoyed watching his face as Ms. Hunter recited the lyrics.

I remember, back in the 1970's, Eubie Blake and Alberta Hunter became rather well known TV celebs. Sort of a "second chapter" to their carreers.

Two of my favorite singer composers! Thanks, Troods

This is ART !!!!!!

[@jazzgirl1920s]

Thanks for watching and your observation. Fortunately I bought one of the first video tape machines on the market, a Beta video tape recorder, and I recorded all the jazz and Ragtime I could find on TV.

[@chrisSkordPiano]

Words can't describe how beautiful this is

[@ChicoFlavioRodrigues]

Albert and Eubie are two icons of the best jazz all the time.

[@mewe65]

I love you jazzgirl 1920's.. Viva Alberta !!

[@missbritt288]

So sentiment and beautiful, how he looks at her

[@jetherocardoso]

Great! The very music, in this time of "bands"...

[@liveandmore]

The one and only Alberta!

[@terrybaritone]

What a lovely posting! That famous comment was made on an ITV documentary series screened in the late 60's / early 70's, called "All You Need Is Love", which traced the development of popular music from blues to, well, the late 60's or early 70's. I remember watching it with fascination. Wonder if it's available on archive?
