Blues singer Gertrude “Ma” Rainey (née Pridgett) was born on April 26, 1886, in Columbus, Georgia, and died there on December 22, 1939.1Advertising in the 1920s frequently billed her as “The Mother of the Blues.” And while there may be occasional conflicting information regarding some basic facts concerning her life, there is a general consensus am...
Rainey was the second of five children and has been occasionally confused with a sister by the name of Malissa. Both her parents came from Alabama, and there is a possibility that one of her grandmothers may have performed on the stage soon after Emancipation. One of Rainey’s first public appearances was at the age of fourteen (around 1900) in the ...
Prior to 1921, apart from singing, Rainey also would have performed comedy, dancing, topical songs, and the latest paper “ballits” (which were song sheets from the city). She was usually accompanied by a small jug band, a pianist, or a small jazz combo,7 but her earliest accompanying groups would have consisted of drums, violin, bass, and trumpet.8...
While Ma Rainey’s influence on other blues singers might be musically implicit, much has been journalistically made of her association with the “Empress of the Blues,” Bessie Smith. And although there is no proof that Rainey actually “kidnapped” Smith (Rainey, to the best of our knowledge, never kidnapped anybody!), they were certainly on friendly ...
It is not known why Rainey recorded with the Paramount label. It could be that that was the only offer she received. However, Paramount was the predominant label selling “race records” (an industry name for the market of records of music performed by black musicians) from 1923 to 1926. (Okeh and Columbia were two other prominent labels.) Paramount ...
Before the 1920s economy started to take a downturn, we can find a number of references to Rainey in local African American press. For instance, there is a notification of her performing with her “Orchestra and Jazz Hounds” at midnight on the Savoy Roof Garden, Mechanics Bank Building, “Monday night on the stroke of twelve,” late in 1927 in Richmon...
Rainey’s final years were comparatively quiet, away from the limelight (both literally and metaphorically). Bessie Smith died tragically in an automobile accident in 1937, and Ma Rainey died only two years later. Although Rainey’s death certificate sadly lists her occupation as “Housekeeping,”32 she was known to have managed three local theaters in...
Much of what we do know for certain about Ma Rainey is rather paltry, a sad indication of the low esteem in which many popular artists from early 20thcentury America are held by both the country at large, and by academe as well. But we do have her recordings. And they tell us a great deal. For instance, there are a number of her records which give ...
So why are Ma Rainey’s records so musically important? Let’s provide the answers in point form: 1. They give us our earliest examples of what vaudeville singing of African American theatre sounded like before the 1920s; 2. They give us clear examples of how the dialogue from the comic turns and vaudeville routines merged into the singing; 3. They s...
I would like to express my gratitude to Whit Gaines and Rashael Apuya of the Columbus (Georgia) Public Library, for having brought various articles to my attention. In particular, the interview with Rainey’s 84-year-old niece, Ella Mae Sanders which was found in the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. Thanks also to Max Morathfor one small, but vital, piece ...
