"They call me Big Mama 'cause I weigh three hundred pounds..."
What a voice! Seeing her in action live must have been some experience!
The closest she got to success after leaving Peacock was a series of records for Vanguard, where she wrote and recorded "Ball And Chain" (later revived by Janis Joplin).
Janis often cited her as one of her main influences! Incredible voice.
An absolute powerhouse!

Wish I had a time machine. Frankly, I'd use it to see Janis too!
