Mabel Scott

For the American stage and silent movie actress, see Mabel Julienne Scott.

Mabel Bernice Scott (April 30, 1915 – July 20, 2000)[1] was an American gospel music and R&B vocalist. She lived in New York and Cleveland before arriving on the West Coast blues scene in 1942. Mabel is probably remembered more for her 1948 hits "Elevator Boogie" and "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus" than for her 1949–1951 marriage to the featured piano player of "Elevator Boogie", Charles Brown of Johnny Moore's Three Blazers.[2]
