Victoria Spivey first rose to fame in the 1920s, with songs which tackled difficult subjects like TB and drug addiction. She is one of the iconic black women singers newly celebrated by the record label, Document Records. Judi Herman hears from Gill and Gary Atkinson, the husband and wife team behind the label and the American singer Maria Muldaur, a protégée of the great Spivey, who pays tribute to the woman who took her under her wing.
