In 1940, John Hammond and Leonard Feather decided to create a W.C. Handy tribute album featuring newly-recorded versions of his songs. Billie Holiday and Benny Carter collaborated to record “St. Louis Blues” and “Loveless Love”, but the other six sides were never recorded.
Sophie Tucker sang the song on vaudeville, Ethel Waters performed it on stage, and Gilda Gray created a sensation when she used the music to introduce “The Shimmy” at New York’s Winter Garden Theater. As a recording “St. Louis Blues” broke into the top ten with Prince’s Orchestra in 1916, rising to number four.
