Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

In the early 1920's, Paramount Records were renowned for

their blues output. Their releases by such performers as Alberta

Hunter caused cash registers to jingle prolifically, as they vied

for domination in a market headed by Columbia and the

magnificent Bessie Smith. But who could compete?

Paramount's 1924 catalogue supplied what the label believed

was the answer, announcing that Ma Rainey was "recognised

as the greatest blues singer ever known. Her records are

breaking all records for popularity. Ma is the Mother of the

Blues because she really taught many of the younger stars how

to sing blues." Paramount's promotion spiel was nothing but the

truth.
