Elsie Mae worked as an American singer in James Brown’s backup band in the late 1960s.

Biography
Elsie Mae was nicknamed "T.V. Mama," although she never recorded the song. She was described as “a lady of ample proportions (who) preceded the sexy soul sistas of the ‘70s by being a sassy soul diva of the ‘60s.”[citation needed]
She recorded only two blues numbers under her own name. These were "Do You Really Want To Rescue Me" (1966) and previously "All of Me" (1964).[2]
