Delores Williams was appearing at Chicago's Club DeLisa on the south
side at the age of 17 as "Little Miss Sharecropper", her name and act
borrowed from Little Miss Cornshucks. She recorded for RCA, National, Columbia/OKeh (as Bea Baker) and King (with Todd Rhodes Orch as Lavern
Baker) before landing on Atlantic in 1953.

I've provided individual links to all pre-Atlantic sides, and to the
four 1963 sides.

01 - I Wonder Baby - Eddie "Sugarman" Penigar, v. Little Miss

Sharecropper [RCA Victor 50-0020-A] - Jul 1949 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIkGk_PLGQU

the instrumental accompaniment on the National sides below
is awe inspiring; the label folded in 1951

at King, below, LaVern Baker was very poorly recorded, one or more
recording studio staff should have been admonished or even fired;
there's a "cavernous" ambience to her vocals which is entirely
inappropriate
