Great Lives

Radio 4 Extra, 6.30pm

When the soul singer

Mica Paris first dreamt of

performing, it was the

American-born French

entertainer, Resistance

agent and civil rights

activist Josephine Baker,

right, who inspired her most.

This excellent edition of the

programme first broadcast

on Radio 4 in 2018 is a

delightful précis of the

career of the first black

woman to star in a big

motion picture, the 1927

silent film Siren of the Tropics.

She became an overnight

sensation in Paris in 1925

after performing her

uninhibited routines at the

Folies Bergère in Paris.
