Lizzie Miles
About the artist
Lizzie Miles (Elizabeth Mary Landreaux, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, March 31, 1895 – March 17, 1963) was an African-American blues singer. Miles was born in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, in a dark-skinned Francophone Creole ("Creole of Color") family. She traveled widely with minstrel and circus shows in the 1910s, and made her first phonograph recordings in New York of blues songs in 1922 – although she did not like to be referred to as a "blues singer", since she sang a wide repertory of music.
