Friday’s trivia question was: Max Fleischer introduced Betty Boop in 1930 but the character was inspired by which African American jazz singer. The answer is Esther Jones. Esther Jones or as she was known on stage as “Baby Esther” was an entertainer. Jones had s cabaret act at the infamous Cotton Club in Harlem, NYC where she sang with a unique voice style featuring “boop-boop-a-doops”. Although Betty Boop was originally shown in cartoons as African American as the character became more popular, the cartoon was transformed into a white woman. The correct answer was given this week by Kyla Hendryx.
