Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe - Can I Do It For You?

 Memphis Minnie is probably the most successful female blues musician. She made 200 recordings. Here she duets with her then husband. It's well worth listening to as it is a kind of feminist anthem, with her resisting the advances and turns down a strip of land and a diamond ring. The themes were taken on with the song Hey Gyp by Donovan.
