Alice Leslie Carter

Who is Alice Leslie Carter?

Alice Leslie Carter was an American classic female blues singer. She was active as a recording artist in the early 1920s, and her best known tracks were "Decatur Street Blues" and "Aunt Hagar's Children Blues". Although Carter was a contemporary of better known recording artists of the time, such as Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Clara Smith, Victoria Spivey, Sippie Wallace, and Bertha "Chippie" Hill, little is known of her life outside of her music.

She is not to be confused with Alice Carter, another blues singer, who recorded four songs in 1923.
