Lizzie Douglas (3 Juni 1897 – 6 Agustus 1973), dikenal sebagai Memphis Minnie, adalah gitaris blues, vokalis, dan penulis lagu yang karier rekamannya bertahan selama lebih dari tiga dekade. Dia merekam sekitar 200 lagu, beberapa yang paling terkenal adalah "Bumble Bee", "Nothing in Rambling", dan "Me and My Chauffeur Blues".

Makam Memphis Minnie (2008)

Memphis Minnie telah digambarkan sebagai "penyanyi country blues wanita paling populer sepanjang masa".[1] Big Bill Broonzy mengatakan bahwa dia bisa "mengambil gitar dan bernyanyi sebaik pria mana pun yang pernah saya dengar."[2] Minnie hidup untuk melihat apresiasi baru atas karyanya yang direkam selama kebangkitan musik blues pada 1960-an. Dia berpengaruh pada penyanyi selanjutnya, seperti Big Mama Thornton, Jo Ann Kelly[3] dan Erin Harpe.[4] Dia dilantik ke dalam Hall of Fame Yayasan Blues pada tahun 1980.[5]

"Me and My Chauffeur Blues" direkam oleh Jefferson Airplane di album debut mereka, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, dengan Signe Anderson sebagai vokalis. "Can I Do It for You" direkam oleh Donovan pada tahun 1965, dengan judul "Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)". Lagu Memphis Minnie dan Kansas Joe McCoy 1929, "When the Levee Breaks",[6] diadaptasi (dengan lirik yang diubah dan melodi yang berbeda) oleh Led Zeppelin dan dirilis pada tahun 1971 di album keempat mereka. "I'm Sailin '" diliput oleh Mazzy Star di album debut mereka tahun 1990, She Hangs Brightly. Keluarganya saat ini menuntut perusahaan rekaman dan beberapa artis untuk royalti dan untuk menggunakan musiknya tanpa izin.

Pada 2007, Minnie mendapat kehormatan ketika namanya dtaruh di Mississippi Blues Trail di Walls, Mississippi.[7]
