    I think she would have ended up as well-remembered as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday had it not been for her career getting derailed after being falsely accused of being a communist. There are very few videos of her performing online. Here are a couple more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySQ8cA4a-f8&list=RDEMRiyKQrqeZtzAc8YjAUiY8Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySQ8cA4a-f8&list=RDEMRiyKQrq... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_WJ4PpxWaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_WJ4PpxWaE

      Cancel culture was already alive and well back then. Today it’s enough to accuse somebody as “transphobic” or “racist”. Back then they word was “communist”. Calling yourself a communist today will probably still get you cancelled.
