Sophie TUCKER
Born Sophie Kalish in Russian Poland circa Jan. 13, 1884. Her family immigrated to Hartford when she was still an infant using a stolen passport with the name Abuza. Eloping at age 16, by her eighteenth year she was divorced and singing in small New York restaurants. Hitting the vaudeville circuit as a blackface “coon shouter,” she was in the Ziegfeld Follies in 1909. During her heyday Tucker was probably the only headliner who was able to mix a substantial amount of risqué material into her stage act. Her hundreds of commercial recordings are but the palest reflections of her ribald personal appearances. In more recent times Bette Middler appropriated a substantial quantity of Sophie’s material but the effect of it’s delivery by the divinely-endowed “Miss M” is not at all what the weighty “Last of the Red Hot Mammas” achieved. She developed a mix of Old World sentimentality and jazz age sexuality that audiences loved. Tucker was not one of the “sophisticated” club performers. The elements of self-deprecation coupled with an honest delivery seemed to discharge much of the sexual threat of her monologues, though local authorities were known to object to specific songs from time to time. She continued to perform until shortly before her death on Feb. 9, 1966.
