Biography

Blues singer Mabel King recorded several solid rock & roll sides during the mid-'50s, most prominently at George Goldner's Rama Records in New York with the tracks "Alabama Rock 'n Roll" and "Symbol of Love," yet audiences primarily recognize her for her acting roles. She portrayed Mom in the late-'70s sitcom What's Happening, took on the part of the Wicked Witch of the West in the film The Wiz, and appeared as Steve Martin's mother in The Jerk. King also contributed to Pearl Bailey's album Hello Dolly.
