Technically, Dorothy didn't have that much success either. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I'm sorry , i didn't mean it that way . I meant that it seemed nobody noticed her. But I was planning to get a book about Dorothy by Donald Bogle | |

Vivian is the voice of So White in this old WB cartoon. Their mother Ruby Dandridge does the voice of the Queen. Warning: not PC, but it's typical of the era, so don't watch if you might be offended.

One of my all time favorite movies is The Green Pastures. It has the old Amos & Andy style dialect that Hollywood tended to do with black actors of the time, but I think it's a good movie.

You might be interested in this PBS special from the 1980's. It's supposed to be 4 parts, but part 2 is missing. It might be some copyright issue with a particular song or footage.
