Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Goodnight Sweet Blues (Ethel Waters)
That episode of Rt 66 with Ethel Waters suggested that the name of the group(family) with whom she sang was named The Memphis Naturals. Does anyone know if any of the band members played themselves in that episode?   Jo Jones sometimes confused in real life, with Philly Joe Jones, played A.C. Graham. Was Jo Jones playing Philly Joe Jones and was there really an A.C. Graham? Who really was in the MEmphis Naturals and where might I find their records? Many many thanks! This episode of Rt 66 really touched me.
