Her father left when Alberta Hunter was a child and to support the family Hunter’s mother worked as a servant to a whorehouse in Memphis. The comeback lasted six years and Hunter toured in Europe and South America made more television appearances and enjoyed her renewed recording career as well as the fact that record catalogs now once again contained her old recordings going back to her 1921 debut on the Black Swan label. Her Columbia albums The Glory of Alberta Hunter Amtrak Blues (where Alberta Hunter sang the jazz classic "The Darktown Strutters' Ball") and Look For the Silver Lining did not do as well as expected but sales were nevertheless healthy.
