A solid guitarist and vocalist, Babe Turner AKA Black Ace built his own guitar as a child, then taught himself to play. He was also in a gospel choir in Hughes Springs, TX. Turner honed his skills playing at community functions during the '20s, then worked with <a href="spotify:artist:1B4tSQ0ZBWMwMelbBh3T2c">Smokey Hogg</a> at dances in Greenville, TX in the '30s. Hogg and <a href="spotify:artist:1NjeZrv0whweXF3dsxvK1T">Buddy Woods</a> were frequent partners for Turner, who made several solo tours in the '30s and '40s. He appeared in the 1941 film The Blood of Jesus and 1962 movie The Blues. Turner had a show on Fort Worth radio station KFJZ from 1936 - 1941. He recorded for Decca in 1937. After a stint in the army during the early '40s, Turner's jobs were mostly non-musical, except for his film stints. He did make a 1960 LP for Arhoolie. Turner took his nickname from the 1936 recording "Black Ace." ~ Ron Wynn
