Johnson's primary era of recording activity as a vocalist was from 1923 to 1927. Prior to this, she had worked in vaudeville. She is best known for her recording of the song, "Dead Drunk Blues". Her main output was released on the Okeh and Victor labels.
Biography
She recorded with the harmonica player Bobby Leecan and guitarist Robert Cooksey, playing country blues; she also did several recordings with New Orleans jazz ensembles which included Sidney Bechet, Clarence Williams, Louis Armstrong, Bubber Miley, and Tom Morris. In 1924, she recorded "Absent Minded Blues", which was written by Tom Delaney, and another of his compositions, "Nobody Knows the Way I Feel This Mornin'". She was accompanied by Williams on these recordings. She and Clarence Williams also played with the Jazz Rippers, Buddy Christian's ensemble, although Williams was not credited and Johnson was listed under the name Margaret Carter. Her songs were often humorous and sexually suggestive in tone.
Margaret Johnson is the executive creative director and partner at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. She is the first new partner in over a decade and the agency's first-ever female partner. In 2012, Business Insider recognized Johnson as the 10th most powerful woman in advertising.
Early life
Johnson graduated from University of North Carolina with a B.A. in journalism and mass communication. She then went on to obtain a degree in art direction at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Career
Johnson's first job was as a freelancer at Leanord Monohan Lubars & Kelly where she worked closely with her idol, Jeremy Postaer. At this Rhode Island based agency, Johnson worked on accounts like Keds Shoes and Polaroid.
Johnson then moved to The Richards Group in Dallas, Texas where she applied her expertise to the work of video games such as Doom and Quake.
After a couple of years at The Richards Group, Johnson accepted a position at Goodby Silverstein & Partners. She was advised to join Goodby, Silverstein & Partners by acquaintances met during her time with Leanord Monohan Lubars & Kelly.
According to The Rough Guide to Jazz, Johnson was one of the pioneering female figures in jazz. Her piano style was tasteful and, according to those who heard her live, effortless. She was nicknamed "Countess," and even "Queenie". She was a powerful musician whose style recalls both Basie and Earl Hines. She died of tuberculosis in 1939.

ABOUT THE VIDEO
This piece is originally written by Paul de Senneville and performed by Richard Clayderman. The piece was rearranged by pianist George Davidson and it is his version I perform here. This version is also incorrectly known as "Chopin's Spring Waltz". I believe this is caused by a popular, but wrong titled, video here on youtube.

Billie Holiday I've been down so long That down don't worry me I've been down so long That down don't worry me I just sit and wonder Where can my good man be When it rains in here It's storming on the sea When it rains in here It's storming on the sea Every time I come here Everything happens to me I lose my man I lose my head I lose my money Feel like I'm almost dead I need you honey Need you bad as can be I've been down so long
