Porter Grainger
Porter Grainger was a notable figure in the early 20th-century American music scene, particularly recognized for his contributions to blues and jazz. Born in 1891, Grainger made a significant impact as a composer and pianist. He is perhaps best known for his work accompanying Mamie Smith, "The Queen of the Blues," on the piano in New York during the 1920s. One of his well-known compositions is "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do," co-written with Everett Robbins. Grainger's influence extended through his compositions, such as "Prescription For The Blues," and his collaborations with artists like Edna Hicks. Despite his contributions to music, details about his later life and death remain unclear.
