Beale Street Mama Words and music by Roy Turk and J. Russel Robinson Vocal by Ernest Hare and Al Bernard Recorded March 1923 Regal 9482 The record label credits Thomas and Bernard as the vocal duo. I believe that Thomas is "Bob Thomas" one of the many pseudonyms used by Ernest Hare. Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, has been playing the blues for nearly a century. Named after an unknown military hero in 1841, it acted as General Ulysses S. Grant's headquarters during the Civil War. But, Beale Street's heyday was in the 1920's, when the area took on a carnival atmosphere and gambling, drinking, prostitution, murder and voodoo thrived alongside the booming nightclubs, theaters, restaurants, stores, pawnshops and hot music.
