Charles Anderson

Charles Anderson (1883 – after 1937) was an American vaudeville entertainer, singer and female impersonator, known as a pioneer performer of blues songs.

Biography Born in either Snow Hill or Birmingham, Alabama, He also toured in Ontario, Michigan, and elsewhere.

Although a favorite with black vaudeville audiences at the time, Anderson has tended to be dismissed as a curiosity by later critics because of his high voice and clear diction, which Abbott and Seroff say "conflict with modern tastes and stereotypes."

Anderson is thought to have died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after 1937.
