After not finding success with her various jazz bands, Blanche Calloway retired from performing and eventually became manager of the Crystal Caverns D.C. nightclub in the early fifties. There she discovered the young and talented Rhythm and Blues singer Ruth Brown for whom she'd help get a recording contract and would become manager. Ruth Brown released Ruth Brown, her debut album (of songs recorded between 1950 and 1956), on Atlantic Records in 1957.
