FIRST LADIES OF BLUES & JAZZ MUSIC -- MOSTLY SINGERS & SONGWRITERS INSTEAD OF MUSOS.

NOTE: ^These ladies had to have been around musical instruments for their entire careers, so, why neither of them ever decided to give one a go is beyond me. They're all singers exclusively, every one.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the various ladies of blues & jazz music, from oldest to youngest, and all illustrated by William Stout for his extensive (and definitive) "Legends of the Blues" portraits series.

Gertrude "MA" RAINEY (born Pridgett; April 26, 1886 – December 22, 1939)

LUCILLE BOGAN (born Lucile Anderson; April 1, 1897 – August 10, 1948)

ETHEL WATERS (October 31, 1896 – September 1, 1977), 2x

VICTORIA Regina SPIVEY (October 15, 1906 – October 3, 1976)

Mabel Louise Smith (May 1, 1924 – January 23, 1972), known professionally as "BIG MAYBELLE"

Big Maybelle provides a unique combination of depth, breadth, intensity and emotion that pack a wallop when delivering a message in a 15 second YouTube short.

#InternationalWomansDay today and #WomensHistoryMonth 2022 are celebrated in Grand Fashion on @SiriusXM B.B. King’s Bluesville on satelliteradio + the SXMphone App. Shoutout to all the wonderful singers, songwriters and musicians passed + present who paved the road for performers like myself plus others you love ❤️ When you hear me don’t forget to think about #BessieSmith #BigMamaThornton #MemphisMinnie #KokoTaylor #EttaJames #JanisJoplin #Odetta #KatieWebster #DeniseLaSalle #RuthBrown #EdithWilson #MarionHarris #IrmaThomas #EttaBaker #EstherPhillips #SisterRosettaTharpe #BigMaybelle #EthelWaters #MamieSmith #CoraPhillips #MaRainey #ArethaFranklin and more that you have not heard 🙏🏽 Nothing worth doing is easy but without breaking down that first wall it’s much more difficult⛏ I’m honored to represent the happy spirit of the music gods in my everyday life. I had no idea I would be here when I started as an artist. Thank YOU music lovers I know where I came from and now i know it’s not by accident. I did not choose the blues it chose me... 💙 Song: Black Crow Moan (feat. Joe Louis Walker) Thank You to ⭐️Mr.Walker⭐️ for the musical friendship, amazing guitar and vocal 💯 #Womeninblues #ElizaNeals #DetroitBlues #JerseyCityArtist #bbkingsbluesville #bluesrock ⭐️ (at Sirius XM Satellite Radio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca16KWGrELL/?utm_medium=tumblr

I used to be chicken hearted; cry when he’d walk out the door, ‘cause I was just young and simple. Ha! Ain’t like that no more.

Decided to go record shopping at Crossroads for the first time in forever. As I passed the new fancy high rise condos in SE, I wondered how long it would be before #OldPortland business life or Crossroads would be priced out. Then I opened the door of the store to find empty walls & bins. Today is their last day on Hawthorne. Tragic . Here is my last purchase. Didn't really need these bit felt I should buy SOMETHING. . . . #BigMaybelle #MillieJackson #Rekkids #vinyljunkie #vinylcollector

TONIGHT 9 - 11 pm (PST) on @kmhd_jazz_radio - my show is going PSYCHEDELIC! It's #NationalBackwardDay (but then, EVERY DAY has felt like National Backwards Day for a couple of years). things have been feeling very surreal for a WHILE! So I thought, why not go there MUSICALLY! . Tonight I'm featuring trippy #SoulMusic, #jazz, & #theBlues mostly from the late 1960s & the early 1970s. . This episode will include all kinds of acid fuzzy guitar, echo effects, wah wah, shimmery keyboards, & trippy sound effects from 1962 �� 1976 from the likes of #TheTemptations, #TinaTurner, #DizzyGillespie, #Parliament, #CalTjader, #RuthCopeland, #LenaHorne, #BigMaybelle, #GalCosta, #LesMcCann & so many more. . Tune in at 89.1 fm or stream it lives at KMHD.org. Then do whatever it is you need to do to be in a state of open mind & open ears, sit back, relax, & enjoy the trip . Background blob borrowed from Brian Moss. These blobs are kind of reminiscent of the Polar Vortex weather map, I noticed. Anyways, I tried to make my own oil blob video but it was very messy & not very cool. . #nowspinning #psychsoul #psychedelicmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/BtTw2KDg-kX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mtskq7bi93v1

Legendary #RhythmNBlues shouter (& one of my she-ros) #BigMaybelle Smith was born on this day in 1924. There are far too few photos of her. . #60ssoul #soulmusic
