{"product_id":"im-the-bluest-gal-in-town","title":"I'm the Bluest Gal in Town","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarie Adams - colloquially nicknamed \"TV Mama\" - was best known by UK audiences for her role in The Johnny Otis Show with her backing singers, The Three Tons Of Joy. She'd however enjoyed earlier success as a singer, recording gospel and R\u0026amp;B material for the Peacock label, before hooking up with Otis in the mid-1950s. Otis hosted his own radio and TV shows in Los Angeles and Marie, plus sisters Sadie \u0026amp; Francine McKinley, as the Three Tons Of Joy (their combined weight topped 800lbs), were a major focus. This is the first compilation to encompass all the different elements of Marie's recording career, covering the period 1951-58. Included are her US hit 'I'm Gonna Play The Honky-Tonks' (#3 R\u0026amp;B, 1952) and the Johnny Otis Show's later UK Top 20 hits 'Ma (He's Makin' Eyes At Me)' (#2, 1957) and 'Bye Bye Baby' (#17, 1958).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmine","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50402127806795,"sku":"2050584","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0604988326123_84d2e248_thumbnail_4096.webp?v=1726533155","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/im-the-bluest-gal-in-town","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
