Hattie Hart

about

Born in Memphis around the turn of the century, Hattie became one of the best known singers on Beale Street during the 1920s and early thirties. Often best known for her work with the Memphis Jug Band, Hattie was also a solo performer with a wide audience. Hattie wrote gritty songs about love, sex, cocaine and voodoo. Her voice is said to be one of the best, employeeing a high vibrato and a range of emotions. When the great depression brought Beale Street's heyday to an end Hattie and other musicians traveled to Chicago. After a brief recording career there she appears to have dropped out of the music business altogether.
