Hi Les. I usually try to give the background that I can find on artists, but this one would have been pretty long regarding Tiny Davis. Google International Sweethearts Of Rhythm and the website will give you a lot of fascinating info on Tiny and her career.
Thank you as always,
Mike

The Margie Day song is on the "Jumpin' The Blues" CD. I also have it on the double disc set "Men Are Like Streetcars:Women Blues Singers".
