Description
MAMIE SMITH (Mammie Smith was the first recorded vocal blues by an African-American artist)
Kansas City Man Blues & Lady Luck Blues Rare 78 on Okeh E to E- Mamie Smith (née Robinson; May 26, 1883 – September 16, 1946) was an American vaudeville singer, dancer, pianist and actress, who appeared in several films late in her career. As a vaudeville singer she performed a number of styles, including jazz and blues. She entered blues history by being the first African-American artist to make vocal blues recordings in 1920. Willie "The Lion" Smith (no relation) explained the background to that recording in his autobiography, Music on My Mind.
