she was a Gospel blues singer. Grew up in the church chorus. She signed with Decca records in the late 1930ies. She is know as the Godmother of rock and roll. But her love was Gospel. "This Train" her huge hit was sung by many before her. She stood out because of her presence. In the late 1930ies women did not play an electric guitar and sing on stage. She played to full houses a white fans. Sadly she died young in her 50ies of diabetes. Sadly both her husband's soaked off her fame and blew through her fortune.

she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018 - finally. she passed in 1973 - so it was almost 50 years . Embarrassed to say I never heard of her until after her passing and I started collecting Chess and Checker, Stax, and other labels that the blues and crossover artists were recording with in the mid 60s. But I honestly dont recall ever seeing a recording of hers in my searches those days. Shame. She deserved far more fame than she ever realized in her lifetime. Many others also did too. Kinda screwed up that I learned of the black blues artists from white English bands. But the emergence of the blues in UK in the early 60s is what brought their names to white kids like me. And since I went to a university 90 miles south of Chicago - that is where my love for the genre started.

She is a foundation of Rock and remains in it to this day. I am angry I was never exposed to her before.

bass reeves what’s your problem with Elvis? He was as great and even greater (in terms of fame) than many other rock n roll singers. Elvis was one of the greatest singers and in my opinion (and many others) he was the greatest in rock n roll, his nickname “the king” wasn’t given for nothing after all

She even invented the Rock tour bus, as half her band were black and half were white.

One can tell it's a Custom because it has three humbuckers and the rectangular block inlays. A Les Paul/SG Special had two P90 (single coil) pickups, and the Standard had two humbuckers with parallelogram inlays.
