The gorgeous blues singing Katherine Davis joins us today to talk about her passion for the Blues, it’s healing qualities, and her love for music of all kinds.
Here in Chicago, Katherine Davis’ name is synonymous with blues music. Not only is she distinguished as a singer, but also as a oral historian who travels the world talking about her experience in growing up in the iconic Cabrini Green projects.
Cabrini Green was one of the first successful housing projects that in the late 60’s began to suffer from urban decay. Many people believe that a lot this stemmed from the consequences of the asassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the subsequent riots that followed. Cabrini Green is also know as the setting for the popular 70’s television show Good Times
, that portrayed a black family struggling to make it in the urban landscape.
And good times we all had! Miss Ronnie describes the first time when she heard Katherine Davis sing as “a warm hug.” Listen to this wonderful ‘acapella’ show where Ms. Davis sings her heart and soul out to you, the listener.
Just back from her travels in Turkey, Katherine is working on a brand new album which will be recorded live at the Old Town School of Folk Music this Sunday, January 29th at 4pm in Chicago, IL. We highly recommend you buy your tickets now online from the site here.
Special note: we consider Miss Ronnie the Ja’net DuBois of podcasting, (not the Wanda DuBois as I mistakenly said on the show). Ja’net in the 1970’s portrayed the popular Wilona Woods on the tv sitcom Good Times. The last film she’s done lately she plays Bernie Mac’s mom in Charlies Angles: Full Throttle.
Something tells me Bernie Mac had something to do with that. (we’re big fans of his tv show)
Listen as Miss Ronnie details her encounter at the Victoria’s Secret
store where some skinny white girl wouldn’t give her the time of day.
Just give me some of that good time Feast of Fools.
