"Arguably, the most beautiful woman in the world". Rolling Stone writer, whose name escapes me and I'm too lazy to look it up. Some, even consider her the Queen of R&R. Not me, but some.
Willie May Thornton gets my vote as Queen of R&R. She meets all my criterion including was there at the beginning. She wrote "Ball and Chain" and was the first to record "Hound Dog". Did Elvis steal from her? Maybe, but he made her music accessible to White folk. Did Janis Joplin steal from her? No, they were friends and she even opened for Joplin a number of times. Is she as attractive as Stevie Nicks? That question doesn't even deserve an answer, but Willie May made it solely on her musical ability.
