I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's on Netflix Canada as well. (We get a fraction of what the US version offers.)<br /><br />Many a year ago now, Ma Rainey's music and life story crossed my path. A point from which has always stood out for me is the fact that she is a sizable percentage of the songs she sung. That was a rarity for any woman at the time, and virtually unheard for a female of colour. <br /><br />Autumn Zenith 🧡 <b><a href="http://witchcraftedlife.com" rel="nofollow">Witchcrafted Life</a></b>Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-59713439835513296332020-12-23T08:53:44.274-05:002020-12-23T08:53:44.274-05:00Yes, she is!

However, I wouldn't have been able yo remember why I knew her name without this context. Viola Davis! What a gorgeous, musical name.
