There was a lot of recording activity involving black female singers and white musicians in the early 1920's.

| The Original New Orleans Jazz Band |
The Original New Orleans Jazz Band followed in the wake of the success of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (ODJB). It was one of the earliest jazz groups to be recorded and its members, also New Orleans guys, were either white or some degree of creole. Jimmy Durante was an original member of the group but had left by this point.

| Lillian Harris |
Lillian Harris was a powerful blues-vaudeville shouter. Bio data about her is thin on the ground and she may or may not be the same person known as Sister Harris, or Estelle Harris.
