Description
Evelyn Dove embraced the worlds of jazz, musical theatre and, most
importantly, cabaret, in a career spanning five decades from the 1920s
through to the 1960s. A black British diva with movie star looks, she
captivated audiences and admirers around the world, enjoying the same
appeal as the ‘Forces Sweetheart’ Vera Lynn throughout the Second World
War.Refusing to be constrained by her race or middle–class West African
and English backgrounds, she would perform for infamous Russian leader,
Joseph Stalin; become a regular vocalist for the BBC and a celebrated
performer across continental Europe, India and the US.At the height of
her fame in the 1930s, she worked with the pioneers of black British
theatre, replacing Josephine Baker as the star attraction in a revue at
the Casino de Paris and scandalizing her family by appearing on stage
semi-nude.This is a celebration of an extraordinary career punctuated
with vertiginous highs and profound lows, and places Dove in historical
context with artists of her time, such as Adelaide Hall, Dame Cleo Laine
and Dame Shirley Bassey.Stephen Bourne has specialised in black British
histories since 1991. He has written over 15 books, including the
acclaimed Black in the British Frame, Elisabeth Welch: Soft Lights and
Sweet Music and The Motherland Calls: Britain’s Black Servicemen and
Women 1939-1945. Stephen received the 2015 Southwark Arts Forum Award
for Literature for Black Poppies: Britain’s Black Community and the
Great War. In 2017 he was awarded the Screen Nation Special Award and an
Honorary degree from Southbank University for over 20 years in his
field. He is a regular contributor to BBC documentaries and has written
for many publications, including The Voice, The Independent, BBC History
Magazine and History Today.
