Margaret Johnson was an American blues and early jazz vocalist and pianist.〔 Johnson's primary era of recording activity as a vocalist was from 1923 to 1927. Prior to this, she had worked in vaudeville. She is best known for her recording of the song, "Dead Drunk Blues".〔 Her main output was released on the Okeh and Victor labels. ==Biography== She recorded with the harmonica player Bobby Leecan and guitarist Robert Cooksey, playing country blues; she also did several recordings with New Orleans jazz ensembles which included Sidney Bechet, Clarence Williams, Louis Armstrong, Bubber Miley, and Tom Morris.〔 In 1924, she recorded "Absent Minded Blues", which was written by Tom Delaney, and another of his compositions, "Nobody Knows the Way I Feel This Mornin'". She was accompanied by Williams on these recordings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Margaret Johnson – Nobody Knows The Way I Feel This Mornin' / Absent Minded Blues )〕 She and Clarence Williams also played with the Jazz Rippers, Buddy Christian's ensemble, although Williams was not credited and Johnson was listed under the name Margaret Carter. Her songs were often humorous and sexually suggestive in tone.〔 In September 1927, she released one of her final recordings, "Second-Handed Blues" / "Good Woman Blues", on Victor Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Margaret Johnson – Second-Handed Blues / Good Woman Blues )〕 After the late 1920s she ceased to record as a vocalist.
