Libby Hoffman: A Primitive Man
Libby Hoffman is supposed to be a "famous torch singer" but there really isn't alot of info on her. I'm guessing her clame to fame is that she married an heir to the Reynolds tobacco fortune...who shot himself. Then her next husband died of a drug overdose. Then her son died in a "suspicious mountain climbing accident." Then Libby did herself in with carbon monoxide! Anyway, Primitive Man was written for the 1929 Porter show Fifty Million Frenchmen. It was a fairly popular song due to its uptempo, dance-worthy nature, and, of course, the sexy lyrics couldn't hurt. www.box.net/shared/zm43rmal56
