Big Maybelle

So much of Big Maybelle's shouted vocals ended up in the fabric of rock and roll, it's hard to believe she doesn't get more recognition. With a voice as big as the world, and a jumping, ever-playful set of songs, Maybelle was a major influence on Etta James, Aretha and countless others. Try "My Big Mistake" and "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show."
