R.I.P. ALBERTA ADAMS (b. 07/26/17 d. 12/25/14)

It has been a year since Detroit music lovers lost Alberta Adams, our Queen of the Blues. It seems appropriate that we bring back this photographic tribute and remembrance of Ms Alberta Adams, a Detroit treasure and strong woman of the Blues! Alberta Adams [Roberta Louise Osborn] July 26, 1917 - December 25, 2014
Alberta Adams was a strong talented vivacious woman who sang the Blues, who WAS the Blues! She truly deserved her title -- Detroit's Queen of the Blues. We will truly miss you, Alberta. Your Blues lives on with each of us.
