There’s a mid 50s religious recording by Mary Johnson on the CD with the book on St Louis Blues “Devil At The Confluence”. Seems she was recorded by Bob Koester for Delmark.

I grew up with Miss Lula and her family. My mom and she were best friends who sang together in church. I am so glad that through the internet I was able to connect with her a few year’s ago, before her death. She sent me updated pictures of her family. I did not know she had passed until your blog. Thank you so much for your information.
