Chanteuse Country US née Margaret Louis Ebey, le
12 Octobre 1935 à Coushatta
(Louisiane). Margie
Singleton fut mariée avec Shelby Singleton (div.), puis avec
Leon Ashley (1965).
Margie
Singleton was born into a musical family, with her sister Pauline playing piano
and her older brother Charlie Creath a popular cornetist and bandleader. She
took piano lessons and showed remarkable aptitude in both classical and popular
forms. (She would later state that she never particularly wanted to be a
professional pianist but simply enjoyed playing and hearing piano music.) In and
around St. Louis, she became known and would sometimes play in her brother’s
band, although not on his recordings. She had an excellent ear and would advise
other pianists on their styles and shortcomings. Later, she met Shelby Singleton
and when he went to Chicago she followed him and they were married.
She continued to advise on musical matters. but from this point onward, the mid-'30s,
she was mostly engaged in administering her husband's business affairs; she
would sit in if a piano player failed to show up. In Chicago for some years,
then in Los Angeles throughout the '40s, she continued her life as wife and
business manager and did so in later years in New York. During the final years
of her husband’s life she nursed him and afterwards resisted the persuasion to
return to her playing. Those who heard her play insisted that she was an
exceptionally good blues and ragtime pianist and during her spell with her
brother’s band in St. Louis she was effectively the leader, rehearsing and
directing the band and helping it retain its status as one of the city's finest
and most popular jazz groups.
