Edith Wilson (Edith Goodall, Louisville, Kentucky, September 2, 1896 – March 30, 1981) was an American blues singer and vaudeville performer. Wilson's first professional experience came in 1919 in Louisville's Park Theater. Lena Wilson and her brother, Danny, performed in Louisville; Edith married Danny and joined their act as a trio. Danny, a pianist who had trained at a conservatory in Charleston, South Carolina, encouraged Lena and Edith to sing not just blues but other song forms as well. <
