Merline Johnson

You're A Pain In The Neck To Me
The Yas Yas Girl, 1939-1940 1994 via Document
a note about this track

Blues Spotlight: During The Late 1930's, One Chicago-Based Blues Woman Cut More Records Than Either Memphis Minnie Or Georgia White. Billed As The Yas Yas Girl, Little Is Known Of Merline Johnson's Origins, Her Life During A Brief But Productive Heyday, Or Her Eventual Fate. Blues History Indicates She Was From Mississippi, Born In 1912. In Chicago, Miss Johnson Established Herself As A Sanguine, Straightforward Blues Vocalist Whose Backup Bands Were Often Peppered With Seasoned Jazz Musicians. Only Fifty Sides Were Waxed Between 1938 And 1941. Her Whereabouts Thereafter Are Unknown.
