Hattie Hart was an American Memphis blues singer and songwriter. She was active as a recording artist in the late 1920s to the mid 1930s, and her best known tracks were "I Let My Daddy Do That" and "Coldest Stuff in Town". Hart worked both as a solo artist, and previously as a singer with the Memphis Jug Band. Little is known of her life outside of music. It was stated that "Hart wrote gritty songs about love, sex, cocaine and voodoo".〔 ==Career== Hart was born in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, around 1900,〔 and first recorded with the Memphis Jug Band in 1928. She had a reputation for the parties that she hosted at this time.〔 Hart also sang in the Beale Street area of Memphis, busking with various musicians, where she became one of the best known performers.〔 Hart was said to sing in the style of Sara Martin, and be a "marvellous, tough voiced singer". Her earliest recording with the Memphis Jug Band, the self-penned "Won't You Be Kind?" (1928), contained blues dialect in the lyrics, ''"Now twenty-five cents a saucer, seventy-five cents a cup, But it's an extra dollar papa, if you mean to keep it up".'' There are five known recordings of Hart with the Jug Band between 1928 and 1930, before she undertook a recording session of her own in September 1934, with Allen Shaw and one other musician whom some blues historians believed to be Memphis Willie B. Hart recorded fourteen tracks, although only four of these were released at the time by Vocalion Records.〔 Hart moved on to Chicago, and it is believed she recorded there in 1938 under the name of Hattie Bolten.〔 It is not reported whether this was her married name or a pseudonym. After that, she disappeared from the public's attention and no further details of her life are known. Hart's song, "I Let My Daddy Do That" was covered by Holly Golightly on her 1997 album, ''Painted On''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hattie Hart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
