Description
With her rich, deep voice Ma Rainey was one of the foremost blues singers of her era and the musical 'godmother' of Bessie Smith. Her renditions of early blues quickly became standards copied by all in the field. She benefited from first-class accompaniments, whether jazz or jug band, country or city, by the best musicians of the time. -
