The Golden Jubilee Album on CD

Sophie Tucker, "The Last of the Red Hot Mamas", celebrated her 50 years in show business in 1954 and to mark this very special occasion her record label launched a limited edition Sophie Tucker Golden Jubilee Album. The record had selection of Tucker favorites performed by her label-mates; younger names like Patti Page, Georgia Gibbs, Vic Damone and Rusty Draper who sang on the album and chatted with Sophie. All of them had graced the Top Ten recently so this was a testament to Sophie's popularity not only with the public but also with her colleagues. The record also featured names like Eddie Cantor and Jack Benny paying tribute to Miss Tucker. It is a treat to hear Patti singing "My Yiddishe Momme" and Georgia Gibbs doing "Some of These Days". Naturally Sophie got to sing some risqué numbers, "Inhibition Papa" and "It's Never Too late to Have a Little Fun" etc.
