Memphis Minnie is known as the woman's blues guitar hero. She was a Chicago blues artist that recorded four decades of music. She earned the respect of her peers with her solid musicianship. Her best work consisted of deep blues like "Moaning the Blues". She was very versatile in her songs though, and incorporated African-American folk, popular music, spirituals, comic dialog, and old time dance pieces into her performances.
