LITTLE MISS CORNSHUCKS
Little Miss Cornshucks, who is remembered as a riveting live performer, could easily be labeled as one of the more influential singers in history; unfortunately, hers is a legacy lost to the vagaries of time, bad luck, and personal problems. (Critic Barry Mazor, writing in No Depression in May 2003, did much to unearth her achievements in a definitive article.) Cornshucks' influence can be traced in important early soul singers (Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding), R&B giants (Ruth Brown, LaVerne Baker), even '50s pop singers (Johnnie Ray). In fact, her version of "Try a Little Tenderness" not only bridged the gap between the song's crooner origins and its soul revival, it provided a virtual template for Franklin's and Redding's take on the number. And lest one try to dismiss her as a curiosity for musical obscurantists only, legendary Atlantic Records head Ahmet Ertegun has called her the best blues singer he had ever heard.
