Ms. Hunter, who has loved music all her life, began her career (生涯)when she was only seven years old. She ran away from her home in Memphis, Tennessee because she'd heard that singers in Chicago were making ten dollars a week. Even though she was young and tiny, she was able to get a job, and people began to recognize her great talent. She travelled all over the world and became famous not only as a singer, but also as a songwriter.
During all those years, Ms. Hunter was very close to her mother, whom she brought from Memphis to live and travel with her. But when her mother died in1954, there was a sudden and total change in Ms. Hunter's life. A few days after mother's death, Ms. Hunter entered school and became a nurse. She gave up singing-forever, she thought.
For more than twenty-three years, she worked happily as a nurse at a New York hospital, where no one had any idea of her unusual past. Nor did they have much idea of her age. When they finally insisted she retire (退休), they believed she had reached age seventy. “I was eighty-two.” Ms. Hunter said with a smile.
She became terribly bored (烦恼) and told some of her old friends about it. One of them suggested that she should go back to singing. She did, and she has been busy ever since.
