Born September 9, 1907 in Columbia, Tennessee, <a href="spotify:artist:7AA6qrp8nkdXl5SfXxD0Xi">Lillie Mae Glover</a> ran away from home in 1920 when she was only 13 to join the Tom Simpson Traveling Medicine Show. Her father was a preacher and she wanted to sing the blues, so that was that. She worked in several road shows before landing in Memphis, Tennessee in the late '20s, becoming a regular performer on the city's famed Beale Street, where she was known as "the Mother of Beale Street." She recorded and performed under several different names, including <a href="spotify:artist:7AA6qrp8nkdXl5SfXxD0Xi">Lillian Mae Glover</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7AA6qrp8nkdXl5SfXxD0Xi">Mae Glover</a>, and Big Memphis Ma Rainey, the name under which she tracked a few sides for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sun+Records%22">Sun Records</a> in 1953. She died in 1985 at Tishomingo County Hospital in Iuka, Mississippi at the age of 77. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
