Ann Johnson
Last updated: 06.10.25
All that can presently (September 2025) be gleaned about Ann Johnson from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American blues singer: Together with Eliza Brown she made 6 recordings of works by Wesley Shellie Wilson in 1929 on the Columbia label. Their portrait on the left is from the YouTube source of Let's Get It Straight (1929). Which lady is which is not captioned.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about these performers.
