 | | With "Time Was When" she became the first artist in history to sign with a record label, as a new artist, FIFTY years after the artist originally signed to the same label. |
 | | Brooks songs conjured many sounds, styles, and emotions; including bawdy blues, classical boogies, comical hokum, smokey jazz, lonely ballads, painfully tender romance, amazingly technical playing, or straight up barrelhouse and juke joint goodtime, and she never lost the strength and empowerment that established her as one of jazz and blues' most devoted mistresses of song. |
 | | She continued to delight her fans up until her death, at age 86, with the same impassioned brassiness as she did in her recordings and performances from the 1940's to the 2000's....From Analog to Digital....From 78 Records to MP3's. |
