That Other Place<p>Modern audiences may remember Ruth Brown as Motormouth Maybelle in the original John Waters' version of "Hairspray" (1988). But she was also one of the biggest rhythm & blues stars of the 1950s, and the first major artist in the roster of the fledgling Atlantic Records, founded by Ahmet Ertegun and Herb Abramson in 1947. </p><p>By the time Brown recorded her #1 R&B hit "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean" in 1952, Atlantic had become one of the leading record labels in the R&B market, to a large extent thanks to her record sales. In the UK, the future soul music guru Dave Godin found a bar which had a jukebox stocked with current American R&B singles (I wonder if they were still 78s?), and he later cited this Ruth Brown classic as the record that changed his life. </p><p>Amazingly enough, there is a great live video recorded in 1954, which captures Ruth Brown in her prime, performing this song. </p><p>Ruth Brown: "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean" (1954)<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqmGZRGvKC8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=BqmGZRGvKC8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/rhythmblues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rhythmblues</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ruthbrown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ruthbrown</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/atlanticrecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atlanticrecords</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/femaleartists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>femaleartists</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/davegodin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>davegodin</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/1950s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1950s</span></a></p>
