Camille Howard

Camille Howard (b. 29 March 1914, Galveston, Texas; d. 10 March 1993, Los Angeles) was an American R&B pianist and singer.

When in California in the 1940s, she became the featured piano player with Roy Milton’s Solid Senders, playing on all their early hits on the Juke Box and then Specialty label, including the seminal “R. M. Blues” in 1946.

After that record’s huge success, she featured on more of Milton’s records, occasionally as singer. Record company boss Art Rupe also began recording her as a solo artiste, with her biggest hit coming with the improvised "X-Temporaneous Boogie”.

She continued to record successfully in the early 1950s, but the growth of rock and roll and her own religious convictions ended her career.
