BIOGRAPHY
Alberta Hunter (April 1, 1895 – October 17, 1984) was an American jazz
singer and songwriter who had a successful career from the early 1920s to
the late 1950s, and then stopped performing. After twenty years of working
as a nurse, in 1977 Hunter successfully resumed her popular singing career
until her death.
Hunter was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Laura Peterson, who worked as a
maid in a Memphis brothel, and Charles Hunter, a Pullman porter. Hunter
said she never knew her father. She attended Grant Elementary School, off
Auction Street, which she called Auction School, in Memphis. She attended
school until around age 15.
Hunter had a difficult childhood. Her father left when she was a child,
and to support the family her mother worked as a servant in a brothel in
Memphis, although she married again in 1906. Hunter was not happy with her
new family and left for Chicago, Illinois, around the age of 11, in the
hopes of becoming a paid singer; she had heard that it paid 10 dollars per
week. Instead of finding a job as a singer she had to earn money by
working at a boardinghouse that paid six dollars a week as well as room
and board. Hunter's mother left Memphis and moved in with her soon
afterwards.....
