BiographyShe was born Edith North in 1903. She married Jesse Johnson, a St. Louis record producer.[2][3] She originally worked at her husband's Deluxe Music Store as a saleswoman.[4] Although not a professional singer, Johnson recorded eighteen sides in 1928 and 1929. She started on QRS Records in 1928. She then switched to Paramount, recording at a session in Grafton, Wisconsin, attended by Charley Patton[5] It is reckoned that Patton did not play on any of her recordings.[2] Using pseudonyms such as Hattie North (on Vocalion)[6] and Maybelle Allen, Johnson also recorded other tracks for small labels.[2] Under the name Hattie North, she recorded "Lovin' That Man Blues" with Count Basie.[7] During World War II, Johnson managed a taxicab operation in St. Louis. She ran Johnson's Deluxe Cafė after her husband's death, in 1946.[2][3] Samuel Charters located her in 1961 and recorded her, accompanied by Henry Brown, for the anthology album The Blues in St. Louis, released by Folkways Records.[2] Her recording of "Honey Dripper Blues" was the inspiration for the nickname used by Roosevelt Sykes. In her later life, Johnson spent time undertaking social work in her hometown.[8] She died in St. Louis in February 1988, at the age of 85.[1] Four of her recordings are included in the boxed set The Worlds of Charley Patton (2001).[9] See also
