The other side of Harlem 1003 belonged (for real) to Betty Thornton, a contralto singer, nearly down in Ma Rainey territory, who played piano. "I Love You After All" is lugubrious, despite the attempt by the "Dixielanders" to give some lift. Thornton made two more tracks for Williams, also early in the history of his operation, which appeared on Chicago 115. These were made at a different session with the then-typical piano-guitar-bass lineup. We'll assume she played the piano herself. Both sides of Chicago 115 are droopy ballads, of no particular distinction, that her uninflected, vibrato-less delivery makes especially hard to listen to. All the same, Williams took out a rare ad in Billboard in support of the release (January 12, 1946, p. 22; the ad indicates some kind of alliance between his Southern Record Company and Regis, which was based in New Jersey.) In 1946, Thornton made two 4-pocket albums for the Joe Davis label, Nice Songs for Naughty People and Songs They Don't Sing in School. The latter, at least, was made with white jazz musicians, such as Phil Napoleon and Hank D'Amico, who had radio network jobs at the time and also did a lot of session work for jazz-oriented indies; a photo of her and this band at the Joe Davis session, appearing in the Chicago Defender for November 2, 1946, noted that she had attended the Hampton Institute and was singing and playing piano at the Hotel Sutton. The Joe Davis albums appear to have been better suited to her talents. (Our thanks to Rob Ford and Big Joe Louis for their research on Betty Thornton, and to Robert Javors and Konrad Nowakowski for more information on Chicago 115.)
