A perennial favorite with rock
and roll fans, as we'll as popular
music lovers, Miss Brown over
came an almost fatal accident in
1949 when she was involved in an
auto crash. Determined to m k e
good she got up off her hospital
bed and went from there to star

gest seller to date has been Mama,

which hit the 100000 sales mark.
In recent years several bigtime
white female vocalists have copied
her tunes almost note for note and
capitalized on them.
The current tour she's on will
run almost three months and will
play the big cities in the south and
western states. Most dance pro-
moters insist upon the Ruth Brown
name being in the cast because they
realize her name has boxoffice
magic. Others in the unit include
up and coming singer Brook Ben
