The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

You are simply unawre of truth. Allow me to help. This is a quote from wikipedia on Ms. Morse's musical style -
"As Morse's musical style blended jazz, blues, and country, she has sometimes been called the first rock 'n' roll singer. A good example is her 1942 recording of the song "Get On Board, Little Chillun", which, with strong gospel, blues, boogie, and jive sounds as a genuine precursor to the later rockabilly/ rock 'n roll songs. Her records sold well to both Caucasian and African-American audiences. As she was not well known at the time of her first solo hits, many people assumed she was African-American because of her 'hip' vocal style and choice of material."
Another quote from Britannica - Ella Mae Morse, American singer whose vocals were deeply influenced by her apprenticeship with a black guitarist who taught her the blues and whose style defied characterization—it embraced boogie-woogie, blues, jazz, swing, and country—and many were convinced that she, a white singer, was black; her top hits included “Cow-Cow Boogie,” Capitol Records’ first million-selling hit, “House of Blue Lights,” “Shoo-Shoo Baby,” and “The Blacksmith Blues” (b. Sept. 12, 1924, Mansfield, Tex.—d. Oct. 16, 1999, Bullhead City, Ariz.).
Why is it that some white people cannot deal with or handle truth? Truth is truth! It doesn't hurt if it's true! It only hurts if it's a lie!

One of the many roots of rock and roll. She was something great!

Ella Mae Morse. The Forgotten Queen of Rock N Roll. What a Incredible and Very Underated Talent.
RichZ Fishes!
Ella Mae and Freddie's version of House of Blue Lights is the best effort ever done on that song as well.

Top record, really good. So many good things from the 50s you cannot hear on the radio anywhere

Can't believe I never heard of her and I've been into Rockabilly stuff for years. What a great find, I love YouTube...

Although this record wasn't a chart hit, keep in mind that Ella recorded it the year BEFORE Elvis cut HIS first record. Ella was indeed a rocx pioneer!
Walter Kussmaul
I've listened to her over and over. Going to search for CD. Thanks for posting the songs. She's really HOT. Really rocks, should have been up with Elvis at the time.
