BROCHURE: BEALE STREET DEVELOPMENTS. A GUIDE TO WHAT'S UP DOWN ON BEALE. 
Volume 1, Numbr 1. [Memphis, TN]: [Beale Street Development 
Corporation], 1980. First Edition. Illustrated brochure (8-1/4" x 
8-1/2") with a pictorial cover. SIGNED on the front cover by Lillie Mae 
Glover as Ma Rainey and by Evelyn "The Whip" Young who adds "alto Sax." 
Glover, who ran away from home at 13 to sing in a traveling medicine 
show, performed as Ma Rainey II since 1939, after the legendary blues 
singer who died that year and whom she emulated. She died in 1985. 
Young, who became a professional musician at the age of 14, was known as 
"The Whip" because she played the saxophone with such vigor. She played 
tenor sax and arranged harmony on B. B. King's first major hit, "Three 
O'Clock in the Morning," and also performed with Little Richard, Memphis 
Slim, and others. She died in 1990. Vertical crease down the center.
