Josphine Baker - three songs, flirting, 1971 pt. 2.

[@rosemarynguyen1909]

She looked and had the energy of someone decades younger - such an inspiration.

[@prodbycha]

the swag, the flyness, THE DIVINE ENGERY…this is the coolest shh ever. even the dog was like DAMN

[@adroutt1985]

This may be the first time I've ever really heard her sing in English, just amazing as she is in French 👏🏾👏🏾

[@pmjhns]

She was born in America but fled to France because of racism.

[@therealauntviv]

I love how she exudes confidence. Watching her inspires me to be myself in every situation.

[@daraccent]

She really was a STAR! Love Her Voice! :)

[@CarmenZynger]

Brilliant voice! This lady sings so beautifully. Love you Josephine Baker, rest in God’s peace.

[@alexforest1]

A naturally talented lady. I have always loved and admired her .

[@szee8588]

What a personality! Love these artists from the old days.

[@japnikki]

She paved the way for African American stars such as Beyoncé and Tina to be accepted. Josephine was a huge advocate in the 60s for civil rights. It’s unfortunate she had to leave America to be accepted when she was young.

[@geminijohnson4019]

She was an incredible beauty, I can see why men flocked to her and she's nothing to ignore as an older woman either

[@bluesugar58]

She had a beautiful speaking and singing voice!

[@Seabasstien]

Never knew what a beautiful voice Josephine Baker had, and On the Street Where you Live is my favorite Broadway song. And she got a beautiful smile out of Erik.

[@hb2sami]

Wow,,, she was such an amazing amazing woman. What she endured in her childhood, and how successful she became despite the many harsh things she went through,,, it’s so inspiring. As a ‘colored woman’. In those years she became the biggest or one of the biggest stars in the world. Rags to riches …. And her heart was beautiful, adopted children, became a spy for France, her adopted homeland. She had “it”. She was the first Marilyn Monroe, the first Beyoncé. Any and every woman especially should know and be inspired by her ,,, I’m not a woman and I’m inspired by her strength,,, and tenacity. This amazing woman just wouldn’t accept anything that tried to hold her back from being successful. She was ghetto epitome of turning lemons into lemon juice. So much admiration for her

[@GazelyGaze]

What you just said! Exactly that.

[@victoriabells8671]

I want a voice like Josephine Baker

[@jettstap]

My mother when she sang sounded very much like Josephine Baker - I did not even know who Josephine Baker was until one day I was cleaning my house and the tv was on and the song J'ai deux amours played I stopped in my tracks it sounded so much like when I would hear my mother singing when she thought no one was listening

[@louisdewit4429]

She is just MARVELOUS. Sweeps any man off his feet.

[@dennispearson871]

She Always had a Song in Her Heatt , and a Very Youthful Spirit !! She Sounded Like she was 20 years Old !!!...An Ageless Spirit and Citizen of the World !!!..

[@hansvonrittern9168]

I'm breathless, she still makes my heart race and fill with joy!

[@adroutt1985]

Such an entertainer and performer 👏🏾👏🏾

[@TEWMUCH]

her voice is outstanding!

[@adroutt1985]

The sound is perfect 👏🏾👏🏾

[@educationalquoteslifewisdo3528]

An outstanding personality who died far too early. Josephine Baker captivated with her charisma, determination, willingness to perform and humanity. She was a visionary, a trailblazer who ventured into untrodden territory. Until her death, she prepared a path for other women, and of course especially for those who were discriminated against, for all to follow.

The world could do with a Josephine Baker now, it would be a happier, more peaceful place 🙂 Thanks for posting this 👍

Josephine Baker just captivated my heart. I thought I love Whitney Huston voice but this Lady her voice is so pure she just sings so effortlessly like a bird at early mornings spring. I respect her even more for the struggles she endured. These now a days singers could never passed the test of times like she did. Hooray for Josephine Baker 🎵💃🏾🎼❤🎤🎶❤

[@cittaromap4163]

Marvelous and touchante Grande Dame I had the immense privilege and the honor to have worked with Miss Baker in 1975 @ Bobino. I was the youngest dancer in the cast . The show was called “ Josephine “ It was based on her life story celebrating her 50 years in show business from her humble beginning in St Louis to her triumphant comeback to Bobino. She used to call me “ her little page “ (Son petit page )cause of my age ! I just turned 18 th on April 1st 1975. luckily for me I have tons of memorable pics from the show as well as unforgettable stories of this short but amazing run. ! She was extremely engaged with all of the dancers .Wanting to know everyone ‘s names .Josephine really truly care about people She was a true legend immensely talented beautiful ,elegant ,generous , humble . She would bring oranges for the entire company saying “ My children you need lots Vit C for strength and energy “ She was so kind but so right cause the rehearsals were long and grueling ,,,. Bobino ‘s stage was too small to accommodate a cast of 8 boys 12 girls 3 comedians 1 little girl who played young josephine and 1 gorgeous dancer who perform the famous banana dance ! So they had to transformed the stage by expanding it including putting additional seats in the theater and building brand new dressing rooms to accommodate such a big cast all while we were practicing in the lobby of The theater for at least 10 days ! It was bit chaotic to say the list and quite cold being mid -February But no one seemed to care it was so exciting to be part of this legendary show ! Even though None of the big Paris music ‘halls like Le Casino de Paris ,Le Moulin Rouge or les Folies Bergère wanted to take the risk producing Miss baker mostly for insurance purposes There were already rumors circulating of her failing health but a small theater by Paris left bank called Bobino took a chance ...Josephine liked to rehearsed late at night after we were done practicing. She even enjoyed having her favorite dish Spaghetti bolognese around 1 am at a restaurant right across the theater. I will never forget the very first time I saw her performing once the stage was finally ready. That night She was in the audience watching us dancing with huge smile on her face applauding many times throughout being so proud of the cast. After all she was watching part of her whole life story in front of her eyes. ... In fact during the promotion of the show a French journalist asked her. “ How does it feel to see your life story being played in front you and starring in your own life musical ? She replied “ it’s wonderful At least i will see what they think of me when I am still alive !!!! I When we were done the director Andre levasseur said “ josephine c ‘ est a vous “ she jumped on stage and belt a song from the Brazilian number called” Que c‘est bon de vivre” She seemed to be completely possessed by the rhythm of the Afro Cuban sound very reminiscing of “Princess Tam-Tam “ all those years earlier ...Her moves were so unbelievable. Her body was in perfect shape specially in her Chanel suit !!!! There is No way you would have guessed that this beautiful lady was in her late 60 ‘s. A goddess still !!!! What thrill for me. A true master CLASS ,,,,,,We rehearsed the show for about 1 month and half . We actually did more than 4 performances. We started with one week of previews on March 25 th special Press night on march 31 st to glorious reviews ! We had another full week of performances with a big opening gala on April 8 th with stars like Grace Kelly’s Sophia Loren & Alain Delon. We had another performance on the 9 th but She felt into a coma on the 10 th and past in the early hours on the 12 th. I was invited to her funeral at l ‘eglise de la Madeleine The service was extremely beautiful and so very emotional .Josephine paved the way for Diana Ross Madonna Beyoncé and many other artists. A true legend. Unparalleled. ❤️❤️❤️. La Baker Forever. If you want to see photos of me and Josephine just typed “ Josephine baker and me Bobino 1975 Cittaroma p. “. Enjoy.

I first heard of Mdme. Baker when I was age 8 from my mommy. She was a huge supporter of Mdme. Baker. I saw various photographs and magazine clippings as a child that mommy shared with me. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I realized the true gem that she was! Thank you for sharing such a glorious reverie. I desire to bear witness of her induction into the Paris Pantheon this November.🌸

she came thru, at the right time but the wrong time. There needs to be a proper movie made about her, bcuz all the flamboyance you see or saw with the Lady GaGa's and Grace Jones and the group LaBelle and Rihanna (I could go on), starts with Josephine. She is literally, the epicenter of what they became...she is the mold. The tv film made about her, in my opinion, didnt do her any justice.

[@coulorfully]

There I'd a oretty well known movie with Lynne Whitfield but a new one or new ones would be great to school a new generation.

"The remains of Josephine Baker, a famed French-American dancer, singer and actor who also worked with the French resistance during the second world war, will be moved to the Panthéon mausoleum in November, according to an aide to President Emmanuel Macron. It will make Baker, who was born in Missouri in 1906 and buried in Monaco in 1975, the first Black woman to be laid to rest in the hallowed Parisian monument." www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/22/josephine-baker-to-become-first-black-woman-to-enter-frances-pantheon
