Lavelle White.jpg inaccurate

edit

On 7/18/12 I removed the image file Lavelle White.jpg because it does not depict Lavelle. On 7/20/12 I re-removed it. This file is misnamed: this person is not Lavelle White: 1) I know Lavelle personally, and this is not her, 2) Lavelle does not and has never played guitar, and 3) a google search for Lavelle White provides actual images of her for comparison. I am currently seeking permission to upload a replacement photograph. Neuroerratic (talk) 20:23, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

You're right, female singer on the picture was Jeanne Carroll Lioneldecoster (talk) 22:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

wrong birthplace

According to Alan Govenar in Texas Blues: The Rise of a Contemporary Sound (College Station: Texas A&M Press, 2008), p. 497, Lavelle White was born in Jackson, Mississippi. Here's how he quotes her: "I was born July 3. I don't ever tell the year. I was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and I stayed in Louisiana, too, when I was a kid, but Mississippi most of all. I was born in Jackson and lived in a place called Hollandale, Mississippi; Greenville, Mississippi; all back up in there." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.74.144.93 (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well, according to Bob Eagle and Eric LeBlanc in Blues: A Regional Experience, p.327, she was indeed born in Amite, Louisiana, on July 3, 1929. They don't give a source, but say of her: "Daughter of Roosevelt White and Melissa Hampton. Malissa [sic] Hampton was living in Pike County, Mississippi, in 1930....". We should probably give both sources, and note the uncertainty. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
