about
Ruth Willis (1898 - 1962) was an American blues singer associated with the Atlanta Blues. She made some recordings in the early 1930s. However, she earned her living as a maid. In October 1931, Ruth Willis had an initial recording session with Blind Willie McTell, recording four tracks that were released on two singles. The singles appeared under the names Mary Willis and Ruth Day respectively. A week later, she recorded two tracks for another single, this time featuring Willie McTell and Curley Weaver. Again her name was given as Mary Willis. Another recording session by Ruth Willis is known; it took place in January 1933 in New York City.
