672 Sippie Wallace (1898-1986) “Bedroom Blues” 1926

Born in Houston and known as the Texas Nightingale, “A majestic singer in the ‘classic’ blues idiom of the mid-twenties, Sippie Wallace outlived nearly all her contemporaries to bring her stately style to audiences two generations later…She retired from performing in 1929 to work for the Leland Baptist Church in Detroit, but made brief returns to the business” (The Faber Companion to 20th Century Popular Music, 2001).
