Camille Howard - Money Blues
The Specialty Story 2022 via Craft Recordings
a note about this track

Blues Spotlight: 1951 - - - First Came To Prominence Fronting Roy Milton's Solid Senders During The 1940s. A Natural On Piano, Miss Howard's Burgeoning Talents Took Her To Los Angeles Joining The Milton Trio, And Not Long After Scoring Top Ten Hits On The R&B Charts Throughout The Decade. Leaving Specialty Records In the Early '50s, The Singles Success Faded In The Face Of The Growth Of Rock And Roll; A Tour With Roy Brown And Little Willie John In 1956 Proved Unsatisfying, And She Retired From The Music Business Shortly Afterwards. Camille Agnes Browning Passed On In 1993.
