R ’n’ B classic of the Day | Ruth Brown - Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean

“Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean” - Ruth Brown (1953)

we like Ruth and this one is as old as me! Not in the league of Irma Thomas somehow but distinctive none the less and under appreciated somehow (as was Irma!)

 . . . .anf frankly if he did treat her mean I don’t face his chances!

Always loved Ruth Brown, what a voice and what a gal!

Born on this day: January 30, 1928 - Rhythm & Blues vocal legend Ruth Brown (born in Portsmouth, VA). Happy Birthday to this R&B great on what would have been her 91st Birthday.

this single is as old as me! 

Ain't it cooooool!

I think so . . . . . . . .
