5: Josephine Baker was born in a slum in downtown St Louis, but once she had crossed the Atlantic and taken the Champs-Elysees theatre by storm in October 1925, she was set to become the most celebrated black cabaret artist Europe had ever seen. Her skimpy costumes, long limbs, uninhibited dancing and appalling
French accent mean that Josephine Baker lives on, in legend and on record. She even sang in operetta.
