I would think any of us who know American Music History know that Ma Rainey came before Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday was not a Blues Singer at all...she only recorded a handful of them. But I get your point. I think you're saying Ma Rainey isn't mentioned enough today???
Since it's 2023 and February is around the corner and we need to keep our Black history alive so our young people will know where how who came about why they want to be famous and how far we've come Through thanks again for your amazing view and voice keep hope Alive.

Columbus, Georgia right here. Ma Rainey's house is blocks away from my parents house.
Can someone find out more about her because she is actually my great great great aunt. My great great grandfather was her brother (Ethaniel Pridget)
If that's true, that's awesome.... I know you have some great stories that we don't know lol.
More black Americans need to know that "Ma Rainey" is the true mother of the blues. Not Bessie Smith, not Billie Holiday, etc.
Agreed
