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. In 1967, she even covered ? & the Mysterians' "96 Tears" (it was her final chart appearance). Alleged drug addiction leveled the mighty belter at the premature age of 47, but Maybelle packed a lot of living into her shortened lifespan.

Born Mabel Louise Smith, the singer strolled off with top honors at a Memphis amateur contest at the precocious age of eight. Gospel music was an important element in Maybelle's intense vocal style, but the church wasn't big enough to hold her talent. In 1936, she hooked up with Memphis bandleader Dave Clark; a few years later, Maybelle toured with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. She debuted on wax with pianist Christine Chatman's combo on Decca in 1944, before signing with Cincinnati's King Records in 1947 for three singles of her own backed by trumpeter Hot Lips Page's band.

Producer Fred Mendelsohn discovered Smith in the Queen City, re-christened her Big Maybelle, and signed her to Columbia's OKeh R&B subsidiary in 1952. Her first Okeh platter, the unusual "Gabbin' Blues" (written by tunesmith Rose Marie McCoy and arranger Leroy Kirkland) swiftly hit, climbing to the upper reaches of the R&B charts. "Way Back Home" and "My Country Man" made it a 1953 hat trick for Maybelle and OKeh. In 1955, she cut a rendition of "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" a full two years before Louisiana piano pumper Jerry Lee Lewis got his hands and feet on it. Mendelsohn soon brought her over to Herman Lubinsky's Savoy diskery, where her tender rendition of the pop chestnut "Candy" proved another solid R&B hit in 1956. Maybelle rocked harder than ever at Savoy, her "Ring Dang Dilly," "That's a Pretty Good Love," and "Tell Me Who" benefiting from blistering backing by New York's top sessioneers. Her last Savoy date in 1959 reflected the changing trends in R&B; Howard Biggs' stately arrangements encompassed four violins. Director Bert Stern immortalized her vivid blues-belting image in his documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day, filmed in color at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.

Maybelle persevered throughout the '60s, recording for Brunswick, Scepter (her "Yesterday's Kisses" found her coping admirably with the uptown soul sound), Chess, Rojac (source of "96 Tears"), and other labels. But the good years were long gone when she slipped into a diabetic coma and passed away in a Cleveland hospital in 1972.

Bill Dahl, Allmusic.com

To be a fan of the blues is to be a fan of Big Maybelle. With her striking stage presence (which can be glimpsed in "Jazz on a Summers Day", to her powerful voice, Big Maybelle was not to be ignored. You seem to find Big Maybelle on Blues collections all over the place, but she is best heard on her own cd, where you can get a taste of her many styles, from funny, to rip your heart out sorrow, this cd offers the listener a taste of Maybelle before she became as famous as she did. You can almost hear the tentativeness in her voice on a few songs as if someone said to her to take it down a bit, but it doesn't take her long to let loose and the listener is in for a real treat.

If you are already a fan of Big Maybelle then this is a can't miss for you. This recording is her earliest recorded work and shows the making of a true blues legend. I stumbled upon Big Maybelle quite by accident about 10 years ago and have been looking for all that I can find on her since. Every little nugget that a record company releases is a true joy to me, so I can not recomend this cd highly enough. If you are wondering weather or not to purchase this cd, I say DO IT! Treat Yourself to an amazing performer. Once you are done pass the experience along to a friend. Lets all try to get the word out on the amazing talent known as Big Maybelle.
