Pink Anderson She Knows How To Stretch It January 13th 1973

Audio & Photo still recorded/taken by Joan Fenton January 13th 1973 Pinkney “Pink“ Anderson (February 12, 1900 – October 12, 1974) was an American blues singer and was recorded by the folklorist Paul Clayton at the Virginia State Fair in May 1950. He recorded an album in the early 1960s and performed at some live venues. He appeared in the 1963 film The Bluesmen. He reduced his activities in the late 1960s after a stroke. Attempts by the folklorist Peter B. Lowry to record Anderson in 1970 were not successful, although apparently he could occasionally summon up some of his past abilities. A final tour took place in the early 1970s with the aid of Roy Book Binder, one of his “students“, taking him to Boston and New died in October 1974 of a heart attack, at the age of 74. He is interred at Lincoln Memorial Gardens, in Spartanburg. Original video recording held at UNC Chapel Hill N.C. Archive
