Rainey Ma
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.
