This is part of a series of live performance for the short lived 1950's variety series Show Time at The Apollo which were later re-cut into the theatrical releases Rhythm and Blues Revue, Basin Street Revue and Rock 'n' Roll Revue. Though mostly forgotten today Martha Davis was one of the finest blues singers / piano players in the business. This was shot with her husband Calvin Ponder on bass. All footage from this series fell into the public domain in 1985 due to lack of copyright renewal.
