"Diamond Teeth" Mary moved to Bradenton, Florida, in 1960, where she began performing gospel music, rather than secular blues, and remained there until her death in April 2000. She was given national exposure in the late 1970s, when Steven Zeitlin of the Smithsonian Institution tracked her down and convinced her to perform at the American Folklife Festival. She performed for President Ronald Reagan at the White House in 1980, appeared in an off-Broadway production in 1981, became one of the first recipients of the Florida Folk Heritage Award in 1986, recorded her first album, If I Can't Sell It, I'm Gonna Sit On It, in 1993, and continued to perform at blues festivals in the United States and Europe until her death at age 97. A play about her life premiered at the Florida Folk Festival in 2000.]]> Profiles: Bands & Artists, Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society.]]> Profiles: Bands & Artists, Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society.]]> Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society]]> http://www.tampabaymusichistory.com/resources/34564.jpg.]]> http://www.tampabaymusichistory.com/resources/DiamondTeethMary.jpg.]]> http://www.tampabaymusichistory.com/resources/35464352.jpeg.]]> Profiles: Bands & Artists, Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society.]]> Profiles: Bands & Artists, Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society.]]> Profiles: Bands & Artists, Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society.]]> Blues Collection, Central Florida Music History Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society.]]> Tampa Bay Music Scene Historical Society and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>
