Jane Howard, Duchess Of Norfolk
Jane Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (née Bickerton; 1643/44 – 28 August 1693), was the second wife of Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk. Bickerton came from a very modest social background. Her parents were Anne Hester and Robert Bickerton, Gentleman of the Wine Cellar to King Charles II of England. She met Howard when he was heir presumptive to his unmarried brother Thomas and became his mistress. She started living with him after the death of his wife, Lady Anne Somerset, in 1662. Upon his brother's death in 1677, Howard succeeded to the dukedom and made his marriage to Bickerton public, though it may have taken place a year earlier, with the Duke's children by Lady Anne Somerset protesting against the marriage. The family quarrel became so bitter that the Duke went abroad for a time with his new wife. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk had four sons, all of whom died childless, and three daughters: *Lord George Howard, married but childless *Lord James Howard, drowned unmarried in ...

Miss Frankie
Miss Frankie was an American classic female blues singer. She recorded eight sides in 1926 and 1927. Speculation still persists as to the real identity of the recording artist. Nothing is known of her life outside of the recording studio. Career The first four songs known to have been recorded, billed as by Miss Frankie, were "I Need a Good Man Bad", "I Can't Be Worried Long", recorded in December 1926; plus "You Can't Guess How Good It Is ('Till You Try It for Yourself)", and "Those Creeping Sneaking Blues", which had been recorded in May that year. It has been suggested that "I Need a Good Man Bad" and "I Can't Be Worried Long", are two tracks that the pianist Eubie Blake probably played accompaniment on. "I Need a Good Man Bad" b/w "I Can't Be Worried Long" was issued in 1927 on the Boston-based Grey Gull Records (7021). It is this output that is referred to in the publication, ''All Music Guide to the Blues: The Definitive Guide to the Blues''. They were all included on th ...
