In the 1930's revue "As Thousands Cheer" Ethel Waters sings the song "Suppertime" about her husband being lynched. I heard part of a recording a long time ago, and really liked it. Since than i have only been able to find other singers such as Ellah Fitzgerald or the singers of the Revival version from the late 90's. If anyone knows where i can hear a recording of Ethel Waters singing the tune it would be greatly appreciated. There are at least two currently available.
