Lena Wilson - Baby It Upsets Me So

Lena Wilson (1898-1939) made her show business debut in TOBA vaudeville around 1918. She had a musical act with her brother Danny Wilson, who later married blues singer Edith Wilson. Their act became a trio after the marriage. In 1921 Lena went to live in New York, became a popular figure in the Black theatre scene and appeared in dozens of musical revues until around 1931. Her recording career began in 1922 and continued until 1924. She didn't record again until 1930. After her recording career ended she continued to perform in clubs in the New York area until the mid-1930s. This great record (sadly in not very good shape) was made in 1930).
