I'm trying to find the full name/possible recordings by a folk/blues singer who died sometime prior to 1957. All I know is her name was Paula and she had dark skin and hair. Probably American, as Australia didn't exactly bristle with blues singer way back then! (Please don't ask me why...it's a loooooong story.) All help much appreciated.
