| | Memphis Minnie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Minnie recorded for forty years, virtually unheard of for any woman in show business at the time, and possibly unique among female blues artists. | | | "When The Levee Breaks", a 1929 Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe song, was later covered by Led Zeppelin and released in 1971 on | | | Her second marriage and recording debut came in 1929, both with Kansas Joe McCoy, when a Columbia Records talent scout heard them playing in a Beale Street barbershop in their distinctive "Memphis style", and their song "Bumble Bee" became a hit. |

| | Memphis Minnie's feet in her high-heeled shoes keep time to the music of her electric guitar. | | | Memphis Minnie sings through a microphone and her voice --- hard and strong anyhow for a little woman's --- is made harder and stronger by scientific sound. | | | Memphis Minnie sits on top of the icebox at the 230 Club in Chicago and beats out blues on an electric guitar. |

| | Memphis Minnie |
| | The truth is that Memphis Minnie was a phenomenal pioneering musician who moved beyond intricate blues fingerpicking and phrasing to playing ferocious stand-up electric guitar live on stage in Chicago at least one year before Muddy Waters is reported to have begun playing electric. | | | Dropped by her record label, Memphis returned home with Son Joe in 1958 to the town from which her stage name derived. | | | Of all the great pre-war blues musicians whose music was rediscovered by British boy bands in the '60s and turned into a new kind of rock and roll, only one was a woman. |
