	Adelaide Hall
		Hall ultimately moved to Paris, and then, after a return to the United States, back to London after she, her husband, and her mother were almost burned out of the house that the two had bought in the otherwise all-white community of Larchmont, NY.
		Hall played the nurse of the princess portrayed by June Duprez, and got to sing a lullaby written for the film by Miklos Rozsa -- given her association with jazz, her singing of the song (the melody of which was a centerpiece of the score) was surprisingly operatic.
		Hall was the recipient of a steady stream of requests for interviews and performances well into her eighties as a result, though she'd given up performing by the middle of that decade.

		Adelaide Hall is one of those forgotten singers, prominent between the two World Wars but overlooked in the years that followed.
		Adelaide Hall was born in Brooklyn, New York, sometime between 1895 and 1909 (many biographers presume that the year 1901 is most likely correct), the older of two daughters of William Hall and Elizabeth Gerard.
		The club owned by Hall and her husband was destroyed by a direct hit during a German air raid, but fortunately for all concerned, Hall had cleared the building earlier in the evening, somehow anticipating that a tragedy was impending.

		Adelaide was discovered at a school show and, in no time, found herself in the chorus of the epoch-making 'Shuffle Along', a musical revue written by Eubie Blake with a cast that brimmed with talent.
		Adelaide always swung, whatever she was singing...and this was as true in the last years of her life as at the beginning of her career.
		I'll miss Adelaide, not only for her singing but for her humour, sense of fun and that devilry and mischievousness that showed you that there was still a little girl inside her that refused to grow up.

	Amazon.com: Books: Underneath a Harlem Moon: The Harlem to Paris Years of Adelaide Hall (Bayou Jazz Lives S.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Hall was born in Brooklyn in 1901 and became a major figure in the music scene of the Harlem Renaissance, along with other glittering stars of the period--Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Florence Mills, Ethel Waters, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Lena Horne, Bricktop, and Josephine Baker.
		While I understand that Williams was trying to set a backdrop for Adelaide's story, I felt as though too much time was spent on the histories of her surroundings and her contemporaries, such as Al Capone, Josephine Baker, and even the Duke himself.
		Hall's focused ambition, drive and tenacity, along with the extraordinary eventful circumstances of her life will drive anyone's interest.

		Her style was always that of a musical-comedy star, rather than the night club chanteuse, and she would light up as soon as she stepped onto the stage.
