	Stage Review: Tamer 'Ma Rainey' still has ability to electrify
		The singer is not Ma Rainey herself, but her present incarnation, Whoopi Goldberg, playing the title role in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," which opened Thursday on Broadway, 19 years after it alerted the theatrical world to Wilson's disturbing lyrical power.
		You can hear that from the very start, as the house lights go to half and a recorded song by Ma Rainey, the great 1920s blues singer, plays as an overture: It registers as warm musical nostalgia, lacking dark grit and palpable pain.
		When the long-delayed Ma finally appears at the 1927 Chicago recording studio where the white bosses and black musicians have been marking time, the apprehension of that initial song is confirmed.

	VH1.com : Ma Rainey : Biography
		Ma Rainey wasn't the first blues singer to make records, but by all rights she probably should have been.
		Ma Rainey was once the most celebrated of all -- the "Mother of the Blues" had been singing the music for more than 20 years before she made her recording debut (Paramount, 1923).
		Ma Rainey's records featured her with jug bands, guitar duos, and bluesmen such as Tampa Red and Blind Blake, in addition to the more customary horns-and-piano jazz-band accompaniment (occasionally including such luminaries as Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, and Fletcher Henderson).

	glbtq >> arts >> Rainey, Gertrude ("Ma")
		Rainey was a close friend (and a friendly rival) with another bisexual blues singer, Bessie Smith.
		Ma Rainey not only sang the blues, but also actually created them, blending the raw country sound of her youth with the more sophisticated urban music she heard on the circuit.
		Unlike many of her contemporaries, Rainey had maintained control of her own career and her own money (the famous necklace of gold coins was one of her "savings accounts"); and when she retired, she owned her own house as well as two theaters, the Airdrome in Columbus and the Lyric in Rome, Georgia.

	'Ma Rainey' actress loves saying the words of 'black America's Shakespeare'
		Singer/songwriter Gertrude "Ma" Rainey (1886-1939) was famous as the "mother of the blues." Between 1923 and '28, she made records for the Paramount label.
		"Ma Rainey" is unusual, however, in that it includes white characters who personify "the man," "the system," the racism that constricts and sometimes kills African Americans.
		Ma arrives at the studio, late, after run-ins with a bigoted taxi driver and an unfriendly cop.

	Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Metro Times Detroit)
		Rather than focusing on “Ma” Rainey (1886–1939), the Georgia-born blues singer who came to be known as the “Mother of the Blues,” the play revolves around her fictional band of black musicians, uncovering their stories more than hers.
		By 1927, Ma Rainey had decades of experience performing in minstrel and vaudeville shows — the Black Bottom number should be a gutsy explosion at the center of the play.
		In producing Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, the Plowshares Theatre brings to the stage a compelling revival of Wilson’s first major drama, which depicts the exploitation of blues legend Ma Rainey by white music studio bosses.

		Gertrude "Ma" Rainey (1886-1939) was a pioneering blues singer.
		Laurence Ballard and Charles Leggett, as, respectively, Ma's manager and her record producer, fill in the historical background of white supremacy (in a relatively benign form).
		Reginald Andre Jackson as Ma's nephew and Charlie Parker as her girlfriend of the moment give Jones opportunities to demonstrate a diva-style mix of indulgence and tyranny.
