T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s(2013)
T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s Synopsis
The 1920s saw a revolution in technology, the advent of the recording industry, that created the first class of African-American women to sing their way to fame and fortune. Blues divas such as Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Alberta Hunter created and promoted a working-class vision of blues life that provided an alternative to the Victorian gentility of middle-class manners. In their lives and music, blues women presented themselves as strong, independent women who lived hard lives and were unapologetic about their unconventional choices in clothes, recreational activities, and bed partners. Blues singers disseminated a Black feminism that celebrated emotional resilience and sexual pleasure, no matter the source.
T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s (2013) is a music and documentary film directed by Robert Philipson, released on January 27, 2013 with a runtime of 29m. It stars Jewelle Gomez, Chris Albertson, Brian Keizer and Linda Tillery.
