"Before Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and Tina Turner, there was 'Ruth Brown', the legendary rhythm and blues singer best known for her hits '(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean,' 'Teardrops from My Eyes,' and '5 - 10 - 15 Hours.' Her powerhouse voice and sassy squeal brought such worldwide success to the fledgling Atlantic label in the 1950's that it came to be known as the 'House That Ruth Built.' But it took a decades long battle with Atlantic to receive her full royalties, inspiring the creation of the 'Rhythm and Blues Foundation', which helps other artists earn their long overdue compensation. In 'Miss Rhythm', the singer shares candid recollections: the early days of R & B; the racism she endured on the road; her abusive husbands and lovers; and her hiatus as a housewife and maid. Brown made an incredible comeback in the '80s and '90s (earning a Tony and Grammy Award as well as a film role as 'Motormough Maybellle' in John Waters's 'Hairspray' ) and was inducted into the 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' in 1994. 'Miss Rhythm' is a story of trial and triumph, and of chart-topping success in spite of seemingly impossible odds." Check out the scans. . First Thus. Soft Cover.
