Mable sang with the Sea Island Singers--this is the only single of her I've been able to find except for some Alan Lomax recordings. Google cultural equity. She had an awesome and powerful voice and unfortunately died just as her career was taking off.
@wadsmyage--it's Mable's rendition of an old blues standard "How Long". I also like Pinetop Perkins version.
oohh....ohhhh...oohhhh....oohhhh....oohhhhh..................ayayayayayyyy!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Mable for having walked this earth!!!!
she is the greatest...just listen to the nigger album....no disrepect its called ITS HARD TO BE A NIGGER...she hated white culture,im white and after reading her own story im with her...god bless mable im yopur biggest fan
The white guy is Colin James, and is a recording from a CBS television in a studio in Toronto in 1966. You can buy the dvd and its called The Blues Masters.
Classic stuff! And for the record, Mable Hillery toured the UK in 1967 accompanied by BILL FARROW (also here on YouTube). They had 5 TV appearances, including Late Night Line-up, presented by Joan Bakewell.
Heard, but never seen her...thanks for posting.

How the Blues went North.
some women are prepared to suffer in love just to sing like this.
The train that took Robert Johnson's blue mind up north just ran and ran and the passengers just kept on coming.
Wanted - copies of Southern train company schedules for the first half of MCM
