Sloppy Drunk Woman

 

 

Early Norridge Mayhams later better known as Norris Mayhams or Norris The Troubadour, rather well-documented by enthusiasts of song-poems and other eccentricities.

 

Not much is known about the vocalist. Johnnie Tunsill (1904-1982) was a New-York entertainer during the thirties. She was a "colored" singer at the Harlem Opera House in 1931, a member of at least two Broadway musicals in 1938-1938 : "a sepia gal who can strike out some neat warbling" 

 

Nothing more is found about her, unfortunately.
