Wallace was born Beulah Thomas, November 1, 1898, in Houston, Texas, an active blues town at the time.
Wallace's first recorded songs, "Shorty George" and "Up the Country Blues," the former written with her brother George, sold well enough to make Wallace a blues star in the early 20s.

Born Beulah Thomas in Texas, Sippie Wallace began her professional singing career as a teenager.
Her music, like much of the blues of the 1920s and 1930s, articulated the experience of being female, fl, and poor, offering not only entertainment but also understanding and recognition to fl listeners (though, ironically, these differences were often exploited in marketing aimed at whites).
She disappeared from the blues scene for nearly 40 years, but made a comeback during the 1960s blues revival, recording several new albums between 1966 and 1986.

But even Armstrong, clarinetist Johnny Dodds, and pianist Hersal Thomas (Wallace's younger brother, who would die an untimely death shortly after these recordings), cannot dim Wallace's vocal chops and emotional intensity, especially on the ballad "I'm a Mighty Tight Woman" (in which she distinguishes herself from her fast-living contemporaries).
