Sophie Tucker (1920)

...He's gotta love his big fat momma, He'll get no chance to fight! And my name isn't Sophie Tucker If that guy don't fall tonight!...

Sophie Tucker, born Sofiya Kalish, underwent her first name change - to Sophie Abuza - when she was less than two years old. Her family had emigrated from the Russian empire in 1887, to start a new life in America.

Her surname changed yet again after her parents insisted she marry Louis Tuck, a delivery man the rebellious youngster had eloped with when she was 17.

Tuck became Tucker after leaving her husband (the first of three failed marriages) and a son (who was raised by her sister) - as well as Hartford Connecticut, the town she grew up in - to seek her fortune in New York.

After treading the boards in minstrel shows and vaudeville, Tucker's break came after being ejected from the Ziegfeld Follies, the storied revue show, in 1909 - reportedly because some headliners were jealous of her success.

That brought Sophie Tucker - who was already incorporating deadpan comic twists into her act - to the attention of theatre owner (and future talent agency founder) William Morris.

Tucker's distinctive delivery would go on to influence a host of female entertainers, during her life and afterwards, notably including her theatrical heir, Bette Midler.

In 1911, two years after exiting the Ziegfeld Follies, Tucker had a recording deal, releasing her signature song, Some Of These Days, on wax cylinder.

Ten years after that, in 1921, she teamed up with pianist, Tin Pan Alley songwriter and on-stage verbal sparring partner Ted Shapiro, in what was to become a lifetime collaboration.

From #ThePlushRoom, an evening of #RaucusFun & #SongsToOffendAlmostEveryone (#SomeoneHadToTellMe)! Finding my #SharonMcNight #SignedProgramme brought back many memories. #AutographsForTheAges, the #ImperialCollection would be complete w/o her! To say that she’s #Irreverent sounds #Prissy. She’s a #KindHeartedPerson. Sort of like #MaeWest or #SophieTucker. And that is rare in a world eaten alive by real estate agents. She’s more of #Revelation in an #OutOfBalanceWorld.

Rogue Review "Red Hot Mama"

Melanie Gall brought a fantastic cabaret to the Rogue Festival’s Mia Cuppa Caffe venue, and luckily I was able to get a seat for her packed closing performance. With a healthy dose of charisma to accompany her dynamic voice, Gall took Rogue audiences on a laugh-a-minute ride in her tribute to the great Sophie Tucker.

Gall’s song list showcased her gorgeous vibrato and unshakeable belt combining for that notable Sophie Tucker sound that the audiences expected. Gall performed her one-woman cabaret with energy, impeccable comedic timing, and a warm presence that made her dialogue in-between numbers just as enjoyable and effective as her ballads. She absolutely nailed the vaudevillian period through her delivery of the tongue-in-cheek humor as well as with her vocal stylings of the solos. Her earnest delivery of the hilarious, tender script elevated Gall’s one-woman show above a lot of other musical acts I have seen from the Rogue.

You can follow Melanie Gall on her website www.melaniegall.com/redhotmama and find her doing this show, or a slew of other shows she has under her belt.
