About Viola McCoy
Viola McCoy (ca. 1900 – ca. 1956) was an African-American blues singer who performed in the classic female blues style during a career that lasted from the early 1920s to the late 1930s. Her birth name may have been Amanda Brown (a name under which she sometimes recorded).[1] She is believed to have been born in Mississippi,[2] although a press release of 1924 claims she was from Memphis, Tennessee.[2] In the early 1920s, she moved to New York City, where she worked in cabarets and appeared in revues at the Lincoln and Lafayette Theaters.
