19 de may. de 2012 · Her mountainous stature matching the sheer soulful power of her massive vocal talent, Big Maybelle was one of the premier R&B chanteuses of the 1950s. Her deep, gravelly voice was as singular as her recorded output for Okeh and Savoy, which ranged from down-in-the-alley blues to pop-slanted ballads.
She made her Decca debut in 1944 with pianist Christine Chatman’s group, before signing with Cincinnati’s King Records in 1947 for three singles with trumpeter Hot Lips Page’s band. She was found in the Queen City by producer Fred Mendelsohn, who renamed her Big Maybelle and signed her to Columbia’s OKeh R&B subsidiary in 1952.
