Ruth Brown: Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean

Ruth Brown performing for a variety show. They filmed several of these variety shows in the 50s which were supposed to be filmed at the Apollo, but if you watch any of them you realize that they use stock footage from the Apollo, and occasionally bigger artists like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, or Nate King Cole, are filmed separately and edited into the show. For 1950s technology it is pretty good especially given that these would be B movie level films. anyway, this is a nice clip of Ruth Brown singing, Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean.
