She frequently performed jazz, big band, and pop music, on the Broadway stage and in concerts, although she began her career in the 1920s singing blues.
Ethel Waters was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, on October 31, 1896, as a result of the rape of her teenaged mother, Louise Anderson (believed to have been 13 years old at the time, although some sources indicate she may have been slightly older), by John Waters, a pianist and family acquaintance from a mixed-race middle-class background. He played no role in raising Ethel. Ethel Waters was raised in poverty and never lived in the same place for more than 15 months. She said of her difficult childhood, "I never was a child. I never was cuddled, or liked, or understood by my family."
"I Like the Way" is a single by AustralianKaz James and Anglo-Irish Dylan Burns, collectively known as the dance music group BodyRockers. It was released in April 2005 and later appeared on the group's self-titled debut album.

The song also climbed the charts in the United States following its feature in a Diet Coke ("Loft") commercial. The song peaked at #20 on the BillboardHot Dance Club Play chart during the fall of that year and reached #7 on the BillboardHot Dance Airplay chart. It peaked at #9 on the Canadian Singles Chart and also made the Dutch Top 40 at #39.

Jeepers Creepers Lyrics
Ethel Waters -
I don't care what the weather man says,
When the weatherman says it's raining,
You'll never hear me complaining, I'm certain
the sun will shine, I don't care how the weather
vane points,
When the weather vane points to gloomy,
It's gotta be sunny to me, when your eyes look
into mine;
Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those eyes?
Gosh all git up! How'd they get so lit up?
Gosh all git up! How'd they get that size?
Golly gee! When you turn those heaters on,
Woe is me!
Got to get my cheaters on, Jeepers Creepers!
Where'd ya get those peepers? On! Those weepers!
How they hypnotize!
Wher'd ya get those eyes?

I never felt So lonesome before; My friend has quit me; He's gone for sure; He broke my heart, For I loved him true; So now I'm worried, Lonesome and blue. I've got the blues on my mind, And I just feel like crying all the time. Woke up this morning, the day was dawning, And I was feeling all sad and blue, I had nobody to tell my troubles to; I felt so worried, I didn't know what to do. But there's no use in grievin', because I'm leavin', I'm broken-hearted and Dixie-bound; I been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose. My train is leaving, And I got the down-home blues. Woke up this morning, the day was dawning, And I was feeling all sad and blue, Lord, I had nobody to tell my troubles to; I felt so worried, I didn't know what to do. But there's no use in grievin', because I'm leavin', I'm broken-hearted and Dixie-bound; Lord, I been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose. My train is leaving,
