About Lucille Bogan
American blues singer, born April 1, 1897 in Amory, Mississippi, died August 10, 1948 in Los Angeles, California. Her real name was Lucille Bogan (née Anderson), but after 1933 she recorded as Bessie Jackson and some of her earlier recordings were reissued under that name also. Her recording career spanned the years 1923-1935, during the last three years always in the company of pianist Walter Roland. Many of her songs were sexually explicit, and some, like "Sweet Black Angel" and "Tricks Ain't Walking No More", have been covered by later blues musicians.
