Mme. Baker was instrumental in the introduction of the jazz age to Europe. She represented American culture at a time when Europeans thought American had no culture. During World War II, she worked as a Red Cross nurse and was an underground courier for the French Resistance. She also entertained troops as a sub-lieutenant in the women's auxiliary of the French Free Forces.

Despite her attachment to Paris, Baker felt it her duty to help advance the Civil Rights Movement in America. She refused to perform in theatres that discriminated against Blacks, refusing to appear on stage until Blacks were allowed to sit in the same area as whites. In 1963 she was a keynote speaker at the March on Washington, telling the crowd that they looked like "salt and papper. Just what it should be."

While Mme. Baker did not have children of her own, she adopted children she called her "rainbow tribe." She wanted to prove that children of different colors and nationalities could live and prosper together. In all, Baker adopted 12 children and, in the process, lost a husband and her palatial home. At one point she was quite literally reduced to begging on the streets.

In the 1920s, Baker was proclaimed the toast of Paris for her exotic style of dance. Beyond her sizeable accomplishments in the performing arts, Baker was a great humanitarian. Over 20,000 people attended her funeral which was broadcast on Paris television.

He was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the most popular of African-American big bands from the start of the 1930s through late 1940s. His band featured performers such as trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry.
