Ladies sing the blues

God bless Lea Gilmore for her beautiful tribute to the great female blues singers of yesterday and today. Her site features terrific bios of legends like Memphis Minnie, Dinah Washington, Bessie Smith, and Mahalia Jackson, all accompanied by period photographs that really capture the spirit and soul of these impressive artists. Interviews and profiles of contemporary talents like Dallas Fisher and Sugar Pie DeSanto are also online; RealAudio samples of some songs are avialable as well. A gem of a site.
