Hello Hazel Scott

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Hazel Scott in 1980. Ms. Scott was a Trinidadian-born entertainer popularized for her acumen in jazz and classical music. She also was a popular actress. Born in 1920 on June 11, she was the first African American to host a television show,  The Hazel Scott Show, which aired July 3, 1950. It wasn’t Oprah or Della Reese like many believe. There is a lot of great info about her. Do a search and learn some of it. Rest in paradise, Ms. Scott.

About Will S.

A nouveau Taurus, writing about my view of the world around me. From politics, to social problems, to public corruption, music and movies to pretty much anything I feel inspired to write. We all need meaningful activities and hobbies to add value to our lives and take our minds away from the stress of the real world. Blogging does that for me.
