Josephine Baker, the "Toast of Paris" sings her delightful double-entendre novelty hit "Please Don't Touch My Tomatoes". The girl in the banana skirt enchanted the entire world with her dancing, singing and sheer radiance. The first black superstar, breaking barriers for many entertainers, and paving the way for civil rights and equality for all. - We've come a long way, and Josephine Baker was certainly at the forefront of the parade. The world is better, because Josephine Baker lived in it. Thank You, Miss Baker, for your generosity, your kindness and your inspiration to us all!
