Kissing in the Dark - Memphis Minnie

Kissing in the Dark - Memphis Minnie
2:31
single, 1953
Written by Ernest Lawlers

This song is credited to Ernest Lawlers, a.k.a. Lawlars, a.k.a. Little Son Joe, Minnie's husband and accompanist.  Minnie was a bold, brassy, blues belter; this song showcases her strong vocals and confident attitude.  Like a lot of blues artists, especially women, she was criminally overlooked in her day and is little known now, which is a shame.  She recorded around 200 songs!
