about
Miss Frankie was an American classic female blues singer. She recorded eight sides in 1926 and 1927. Speculation still persists as to the real identity of the recording artist. Nothing is known of her life outside of the recording studio. The first four songs known to have been recorded, billed as by Miss Frankie, were "I Need a Good Man Bad", "I Can't Be Worried Long", recorded in December 1926; plus "You Can't Guess How Good It Is ('Till You Try It for Yourself)", and "Those Creeping Sneaking Blues", which had been recorded in May that year.

"I Need a Good Man Bad" b/w "I Can't Be Worried Long" was issued in 1927 on the Boston-based Grey Gull Records (7021). It is this output that is referred to in the publication, All Music Guide to the Blues: The Definitive Guide to the Blues. They were all included on the compilation album Female Blues Singers Vol 6 E/F/G 1922 - 1928, issued by Document Records originally in 1997, and later on CD in March 2009 (DOC5510). Three of the tracks (excluding "Those Creeping Sneaking Blues") were also included on the various artists album, The Roots of Billie Holiday - Ladies Sing the Blues of The 1920s (2008). It is thought, although not proven, that the recordings were probably by Jane Howard. One publication suggested that 'Miss Frankie' was a pseudonym used by Jane Howard on recor
