Adelaide Hall's career spanned more than 70 years, and the singer collaborated with some of the giants of the jazz world, including Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Fats Waller.
Though born in America, she made London her home where audiences were much more racially accepting and was still performing up until her death at the age of 92.
Jenni is joined by author Stephen Bourne and singer Elaine Delmar, to find out more about Adelaide's journey from Harlem and the days of the Cotton Club, to Kensington and the Royal Variety Show.
