Ethel Waters: His Eye Is on the Sparrow

Ethel Waters:
His Eye Is on the Sparrow

A Life in Music
by Larry Parr

April 11 – May 2, 2010

The song will set you free.
From the hopeless slums of Philadelphia to the heights of fame, from anger towards almost everyone to a love for all mankind, Ethel Waters lived it all. Now her life takes center stage. From a childhood as a thief and unwilling bride, she became a Vaudeville success, a recording sensation and a Broadway and Hollywood star. Then a reputation for being difficult and her own distrust made her a recluse until she found a purpose beyond herself as a performer with the Billy Graham Crusades. Through it all, there were the songs, the ones that gave her strength and the ones that made her a legend. This is her incredible story, filled with the greatest hits of a lifetime, including “Stormy Weather” and “Am I Blue?”


“It illuminates while it entertains and offers some profound observations on this American life.”
