Mable John

Mable John (November 3, 1930 - August 26, 2022) was an American blues vocalist and was the first female signed by Berry Gordy to Motown's Tamla label. A recording artist for Motown in the late 1950s/early 1960s, she joined Ray Charles' backing singers The Raelets in 1962. From 1966 to 1968 John recorded as a solo artist again for the Stax label. She then rejoined the Raelets but soon left again to focus on Christian music. She was the sister of Little Willie John and Mertis John.

Peel played a few tracks from the singer in the 80's and 90's from Stax compilations. However, there doesn't seem any evidence from tracklistings on this site of Peel playing further material from her.
