Alberta Hunter (April 1, 1895 – October 17, 1984)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JK26-MN1 )〕 was an internationally known American blues singer and songwriter who had a successful career from early 1920s to the late 1950s, was a contemporary of Ethel Waters and Bessie Smith, and then decided to stop from performing to work as a nurse. In 1977, after 20 years working as a nurse and having to retire, Hunter made a successful comeback and resumed her popular singing career in her 80s until the time of her death. == Early life == Hunter was born in Memphis, Tennessee,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MGN9-8TT )〕 to Laura Peterson, who worked as a maid in a Memphis brothel, and Charles Hunter, a Pullman porter.〔 Hunter said she never knew her father. She attended Grant Elementary school, off Auction Street, which she called Auction School, in Memphis. Hunter came from a difficult background. Her father left when she was a child and to support the family Hunter’s mother worked as a servant in a whorehouse in Memphis, although she married again in 1906. Hunter was not happy with her new family and left for Chicago, Illinois, around the age of 11, in the hopes of becoming a paid singer; she had heard that it paid 10 dollars an hour. Instead of finding a job as a singer she had to earn money by working at a boardinghouse that paid six dollars a week as well as room and board. Hunter's mother left Memphis and moved in with her soon afterwards.
