Hi Everyone,
This is the full podcast version of my recent essay, The Truth About Gladys Bentley’s Miraculous Return to Womanhood. I am delighted to bring this article to life with clips of Gladys’s original music, alongside a voiceover of the article.
Songs in order of appearance:
Red Beans & Rice Blues
Boogie n’ My Woogie
Worried Blues
This page does not include any of the photos or newspaper clippings I included in the written version. So, if you’d like to read along and check out the archival materials, I suggest you keep the original article open while you listen.
I hope you enjoy! Would love to hear your thoughts. 🌺
