The Beale Street Sheiks

During the 1920s the pair performed as an early blues duo, billed as the Beale Street Sheiks. They played in white venues, including country clubs, parties and dances. Their first recording was made for Paramount Records in August 1927, as the Beale Street Sheiks. On the A-side featured You Shall and on the B-side the track It's A Good Thing.

Now, when I was young gun in my prime
Six, eight different women all the time
Had a woman, God, her name was Lou
Take God almighty tell you what the woman would do

While the Beale Street Sheiks were never financially successful, their recordings did make a big impact on their fellow musicians and their duet style influenced Memphis Minnie in her duets with her then husband Kansas Joe McCoy.

In an article about Stokes and Sane, the National Park Service writes:

The fluid guitar interplay between Stokes and Sane, combined with a propulsive beat, witty lyrics, and Stokes’ stentorian voice, make their recordings irresistible.
