Mills, Florence (1895–1927), singer. The charismatic African‐American performer who became almost a legend in her own short life, with her sparkling eyes, torchy voice, and graceful stepping, was born in Washington and began performing at the age of four. Her Broadway appearances were in Shuffle Along (1921), Plantation Revue (1922), Greenwich Village Follies (1923), and Dixie to Broadway (1924), in which she sang “I'm a Little Blackbird Looking for a Bluebird.”
